The FOLLOWING have recently been purchased

FROM MESSRS. LOVELL REEVE AND CO.

Photographic Portraits of Men of

Eminence in Literature, Science, and Art, with Biographical Memoirs. The Photographs from Life, by ERNEST EDWARDS, B.A. Small 4to, cloth gilt. Vols. 1 and 2, each complete in itself, price 21s., and containing 24 Portraits, with Memoirs. Twenty-two Parts of the above have now been issued, and it will be continued in Monthly Numbers, each containing 3 Portraits, with Memoirs, price 2s. 6d. N.B. To be ready with the Magazine Parcels on the last day of each month.

The Number for April 1st contains a Portrait and Biography of Captain Burton.

"It seems the intention of the editor to introduce a representative of Literature, Science, and Art, respectively, in each number; an excellent plan, if only for the sake of variety. The photographs as likenesses are all capital. The biographical notices are well written, sufficiently ample for the purpose, and penned in a kindly yet independent spirit; the public life of the individual is the principal point the author has desired to set before his readers in the narrative accompanying each picture. This work, if carried on to any extent, as we trust it may be, will form a valuable book of contemporary illustrated biography."-ART JOURNAL.

Brittany Photographically Illustra

ted: Narrative of a Walking Tour in Brittany. By With the Rev. J. M. JEPHSON, B.A., F.S.A. Notes of a Photographic Expedition, by LOVELL REEVE, F.L.S. Royal 8vo, price 12s. cloth.

"Here we have a real, fresh, manly book. Mr. Jephson has produced a very spirited and instructive narrative; and the ninety stereographs that accompany it in a box form a novel application of this beautiful art."-SATURDAY Review.

"Of Mr. Lovell Reeve's photographic contributions to the book we can truly say that we have never seen anything which in the union of delicacy and clearness surpasses them."-PRESS.

"So well as photography can illustrate a book,and for the exercise of its powers it would be hard to find an apter field than this romance offers, it is perfect."-ATHENÆUM,

"What is not familiar to us all is such an exquisite and elaborate series of photographs of Rhineland scenery and Swiss scenery; they are little short of perfection."-SATURDAY REVIEW.
