TOM BROWN AT OXFORD.

SECOND EDITION, Three Vols. £1 11s. 6d.

"A book that will live. In no other work that we can call to mind are the finer qualities of the English gentleman more happily portrayed. . . . Mr. Hughes' volumes delight us by the natural manner in which they tell their tale, and not less by their strong and pure English. They are characterised by a manliness of thought which despises affectation, and by that genuine delicacy of feeling which can spring only from a mind exercised in the guardianship of its own dignity."-Daily News.

"The extracts we have given can give no adequate expression to the literary vividness and noble ethical atmosphere which pervade the whole book."-Spectator.
