and SHAKESPEARE'S MAIDENS AND WOMEN.

Times.--"We can recommend no better medium for making acquaintance at first hand with 'the German Aristophanes' than the works of Heinrich Heine, translated by Charles Godfrey Leland. Mr. Leland manages pretty successfully to preserve the easy grace of the original."

Volumes II. and III. PICTURES OF TRAVEL, 1823-1828. In Two Volumes.

Daily Chronicle.--"Mr. Leland's translation of 'The Pictures of Travel' is one of the acknowledged literary feats of the age. As a traveller Heine is delicious beyond description, and a volume which includes the magnificent Lucca series, the North Sea, the memorable Hartz wanderings, must needs possess an everlasting charm."

Volumes V. and VI. GERMANY. In Two Volumes.

Daily Telegraph.--"Mr. Leland has done his translation in able and scholarly fashion."
