=PLAYING AT BOTANY.= By PHŒBE ALLEN, Author of “Gilmory” &c. With Coloured Frontispiece by MAUD NAFTEL.
“This is a charming little book. The writer adopts the excellent plan of letting each flower tell its own story.... This plan is admirably carried out.”—MORNING POST.
BY MARY E. HULLAH, AUTHOR OF “THE LION BATTALION.”
=PHILIPPA.= With Frontispiece by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo. 5_s._
“After much weary reading of the numerous works provided in such overwhelming quantities by the publishers at this season of the year, the reviewer is strongly tempted to overpraise a work so fresh, artless, and finished as Miss Hullah’s ‘Philippa.’ The clever authoress is a delightful story-teller. For originality of treatment, quiet sense of humour, and literary style, ‘Philippa’ rises far above the mass of mediocrity flooding the book market.”—PUBLIC OPINION.
BY KATHARINE S. MACQUOID, AUTHOR OF “PATTY” &c.

“An admirable study of girl life.”—ATHENÆUM.

NATIONAL SOCIETY’S PRIZE BOOKS for the YOUNG
CHAPTERS IN POPULAR NATURAL HISTORY
By Sir JOHN LUBBOCK, Bart., M.P., F.R.S., Author of “Ants, Bees, and Wasps,” &c. With 90 Illustrations. Pp. 224. Bevelled boards, cloth gilt, price 2_s._
“These selections from Sir John Lubbock’s well-known works have been judiciously chosen, and the illustrations are admirable. Altogether, it is the most attractive of countless reading-books that the New Code has called forth.”—JOURNAL OF EDUCATION.
“It has been admirably condensed from his larger works on insects and wild flowers, and will excite the wonder of young readers by the insight it gives them into the mysteries of nature and science.... There is abundance to charm all classes of students, and to set them thinking.”—DAILY CHRONICLE.
“A more interesting and instructive book we have not read for some time.... The chapters on the colours of animals, and on plants, fruits, and seeds, should be read by every person who has acquired the art of reading.”—IRISH TEACHERS’ JOURNAL.
“It was a happy thought of the Society thus to utilise and popularise some of Sir John Lubbock’s charming studies.”—LITERARY CHURCHMAN.
HISTORICAL BALLADS
Edited and Annotated by CHARLOTTE M. YONGE, Author of “Cameos from English History.” The Complete Work in One Volume. Bevelled boards, cloth gilt, pp. 662, price 4_s._
“Miss Yonge’s two small volumes are suited to children by their simplicity of language and clearness of subject.... We think that the poems are judiciously and carefully chosen, and much attention has been bestowed on the short notes, the chief object of which is just to give children a little knowledge of matters and allusions which they would not properly understand.”—EDUCATIONAL TIMES on Parts I. and II.
“We have no doubt that it was a labour of love to Miss Yonge to select and to annotate the stirring ballad music in which English literature is so rich. It will be nothing less than a liberal education to the children of the poor (or, indeed, of the rich) to commit to memory and ponder over such verses as these.”—LITERARY CHURCHMAN.
“We have in this interesting volume a rare collection of pieces suitable for recitation. Much judgment has been exercised in choosing suitable poems, and care has been taken in so adapting the pieces for standard work that their fitness is at once apparent. It is the best collection of historical ballads that we know of.”—TEACHERS’ AID.

NATIONAL SOCIETY’S RECENT PUBLICATIONS
THE LIFE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST
_Illustrated from the Italian Painters of the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Sixteenth Centuries._
A Preface has been furnished to this volume, on the Growth of Religious Art in Italy, by Mr. F. T. PALGRAVE, who has also added Critical and Explanatory Notes on the Pictures and their Painters.
Richly bound in cloth boards, bevelled, gilt edges, price 21_s._
The =Church Quarterly Review= says:—“This book is a perfect gem.... It is, indeed, a relief to turn to such matchless designs as these. It would be impossible to speak too highly of the knowledge of the history of art, the elevation of thought, and the elegance of style which Mr. Palgrave displays.”
The =Spectator= says:—“The drawings are executed with much skill; and the chromo-lithographic process is here employed with delicacy and success. Mr. Palgrave’s notes are pertinent and instructive. His Introduction is able and eloquent.”
The =Academy= says:—“This is a very beautiful book, and the chromo-lithographs with which it is adorned, or rather, which are illustrated by the text, reflect great credit on the care and skill of all concerned in their production.”
The =Athenæum= says:—“By way of preface, a highly intelligent and critical essay on the growth, aims, and developments of religious art in Italy by Mr. F. T. Palgrave. Each well-weighed and thoughtful sentence is worth reading. The general purport of the book is well represented by the title. Mr. Palgrave vouches for the beauty of the drawings made by Mr. Goodall, from which the chromo-lithographs were taken.... A very ambitious effort has been extremely successful.”
The =Portfolio= says:—“The eloquent and informing preface and the critical notes on the pictures, by Mr. F. T. Palgrave, are addressed to an adult and cultured audience.... The literary part of the volume deserves more careful consideration than is usually accorded to letterpress penned to accompany even high-class illustrations.”
The =Art Journal= says:—“A work which should be the most popular, as it must be the handsomest, of Christmas books bearing a religious character.... Twenty-four wonderful little chromo-lithographs from drawings made on the spot.... The volume is in every way a beautiful one.”
THE STORY OF THE CHILDHOOD OF CHRIST. By R. E. H. 4_s._
