"These very original volumes have all the value their auther claims for them and more. They give us in a pleasant way a vivid insight into the virtues and eccentricities of a doomed civilisation. They present us with pictures of Japanese life and manners not worked out in the monotony of minute detail, but dashed in with bold, telling touches. They will always be interesting as memorials of a most exceptional society; while regarded simply as tales, they are sparkling, sensational, and dramatic; and the originality of their ideas and the quaintness of their language give them a most captivating piquancy. The illustrations are extremely interesting, and for the curious in such matters have a special and particular value. -Pall Mall Gazette.

CADBURY'S COCOA ESSENCE

Absolutely genuine, economical, being about three times the strength of the Homeopathic Cocoas and French Chocolates ordinarily sold; suitable for the weakest stomach, owing to two-thirds of the Fatty Matter, which forms 50 per cent. of the Nib, being removed. "The richness is thus overcome in a manner far preferable to the impoverishment of the Cocoa by dilution or Adulteration."-The Lancet. "Cocoa treated thus will, we expect, prove to be one of the most nutritious, digestible, and restorative of drinks."-British Medical Journal.
