Cameos from English History. — See Yonge (C. M.)
Delamotte. — A BEGINNER'S DRAWING BOOK. By P. H.

Delamotte, F.S.A. Progressively arranged, with upwards of

Fifty Plates. Crown 8vo. Stiff covers. 2s. 6d.

This work is intended to give such instruction to Beginners in Drawings and to place before them copies so easy, that they may not find any obstacle in making the first step. Thenceforward the lessons are gradually progressive. Mechanical improvements, too, have lent their aid. The whole of the Plates have been engraved by a new process, by means of which a varying depth of tone — up to the present time the distinguishing character­istic of pencil drawing — has been imparted to woodcuts. “We have seen and examined a great many drawing-books, but the one now before us strikes us as being the best of them all.” — Illustrated Times. “A concise, simple, and thoroughly practical work. The letter-press is throughout intelligible and to the point.” — Guardian.

D'Oursy and Feillet. — A FRENCH GRAMMAR AT

SIGHT, on an entirely new method. By A. D'Oursy and A. Feillet. Especially adapted for Pupils preparing for Ex­amination.

Fcap. 8vo. cloth extra. 2s. 6d.

The method followed in this volume consists in presenting the grammar as much as possible by synoptical tables, which, striking the eye at once, and following throughout the same order — “used — not used;” “changes — does not change” — are easily remembered. The parsing tables will enable the pupil to parse easily from the beginning. The exercises consist of translations from French into English, and from English into French; and of a number of grammatical questions.
