UNDINE. BY DE LA MOTTE FOUQUE. Beautifully printed in foolscap 8vo., with Eleven original Designs by JOHN TENNIEL, Jun. Price 5s. in elegant cloth, gilt tops. This is an entirely new translation, and it is believed reflects the peculiar beauties of the original much more accurately than any previous version. Also, FOUQUE'S SINTRAM. A new and more accurate translation, uniform with the above, and containing Ten Designs by HENRY C. SELOUS. 58. "This charming romance of De la Motte Fouque, (Undine,') is here brought out in one small neat volume-being a new translation, with eleven illustrations, designed by Tenniel, and engraved by Bastin. To this little book a preface is prefixed, extracted from the last edition of the author's works, published at Halle. The style of the simple German is closely imitated in this translation; and the embellishments are designed with infinite taste, and engraved with much clearness. They reflect the highest credit on Mr. Bastin-one of the best wood engravers of our time, whose productions comprise high finish with artistic skill and matured judgment."—Art Union: "This popular and delightful romance ( Undine') will be ever welcome in any form or dress. But more especially acceptable will it be translated with a quaintness that identifies it with the original German, and evidently by one who has caught the spirit of its father-land, and writes as if he were author instead of translator. It is beyond comparison the most faithful and literal rendering of the original into English which has yet appeared; it is exquisitely printed, neatly bound, and illustrated with many spirited engravings. It is just the book for a present."-Critic. "Sintram,' a new translation of a justly popular romance, and illustrated by engravings of the most characteristic description by H. Selous. Of a tale, so universally a favourite, we need say nothing more than that in its present dress, literary and artistic, it is produced in a manner well calculated to spread its fame yet more widely and more delightfully."— Literary Gazette.

In "We have here three very pretty little tomes, each complete in itself, and therefore purchasable separately, consisting of the old friends and favourites of childhood, such as Cinderella,' 'Jack the Giant Killer,' 'Prince Cherrie,' Whittington and his Cat,' 'Beauty and the Beast,' &c. &c. How charming they all are, with their quaint and delicate fancies, and wise or humane morals! There is, indeed, no finer moral tale in the language than Goody Two Shoes,' which in small compass contains the essence of volumes. We cannot help thinking that this kind of nursery literature affords far more wholesome nutriment for the juvenile mind than the modern stories, satires, travesties, and caricatures, which are converting, or rather perverting, children into precocious, shrewd, sharp-witted, little men and women of the world."-Tait's Magazine. "Who says we are old or crabbed critics?graphy, and illustrated by a large number of These volumes make us young and laughing again! Oh, what pretty stories, and how charmingly embellished! Our old acquaintances, in their literature only changed so much as to be chastely pure, and point a moral, without injuring an interest or marring a denouemente; "These are ancient favourites; the books, of which there are three in a series, are of very elegant forms, beautiful specimens of topo finely-engraved woodcuts, from drawings of the highest order of merit. We owe much to Mr. Burns for making good taste popular; he has already produced a large number of publications that will do incalculable service to the cause of Art. We hope, ere long, to 18 ILLUSTRATED WORKS, &c. bring the major part of them under detailed than to revive early recollections of this kind. review."-Art- Union. "This is the prettiest and most neatly got up of all possible collections of Fairy Tales, without being too expensive in price. We have here all the old established favourites of the nursery; and not of the nursery only-why disguise it ?-there are sometimes few recreations more acceptable to grown-up children In some cases they have been improved by the addition of new matter from foreign sources an experiment managed with good taste and discretion. On this head we must refer the editor to the judgment of a jury of Christmas parties, and we do not think he has any need to fear the verdict.-Morning Chronicle, Friday, Dec. 26.
