“The most brilliant of our monthly magazines.”—Truth.
“‘Blackwood’ remains without a rival.”—The Daily Mail.
BLACKWOOD’S
MAGAZINE.
“I wonder whether readers are appreciating as they should the extraordinary life and vigour with which ‘Blackwood’s Magazine’ is being conducted. It is like no other Magazine in the world in its range of subject and interest.”—Sir William Robertson Nicoll in ‘The British Weekly.’
“We are never disappointed when we open BLACKWOOD. ‘Maga’ has a distinction, character, and note of its own. Grave or gay, it is always full of good things and of good literature.”—Army and Navy Gazette.
“The other day the reviewer heard a man remark that he never read ‘Blackwood’; it clearly shows how blind people can be when the very best lies under their eyes, for not to read ‘Blackwood’ in these days is to miss incomparably the most literary and the most interesting of the monthly magazines.”—The Times of India.
Subscribers both at home and abroad can have ‘Blackwood’s Magazine’ sent by post monthly from the Publishing Office, 45 George Street, Edinburgh, for 30s. yearly.

Byron—Selections.
By Professor J. Wight Duff, D.Litt., Armstrong College, in the University of Durham, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. 3s. 6d.

Mr G. K. Chesterton in ‘The Daily News.’—“Mr Wight Duff has made an exceedingly good selection from the poems of Byron, and added to them a clear and capable introductory study.”
Professor R. Wülker in ‘Englische Studien.’—“Wight Duff’s Byron wird sicherlich dazu beitragen des Dichters Werke in England mehr zu verbreiten, als dies bisher geschehen ist. Aber auch in Deutschland ist das Buch allen Freunden Byron’s warm zu empfehlen.”

NOTE.
This new Series would seek to do for Literature what has already been done by many series of School Readers for History, Geography, and Science. Many teachers feel that their pupils should be introduced as soon as possible to the works of the great writers, and that reading may be learnt from these works at least as well as from compilations specially written for the young. Because of recent changes in Inspection, the present is a specially suitable time for the Introduction of such a series into Elementary Schools. In the Preparatory Departments of Secondary Schools the need for such a series is clamant.
It is to be noted that the books are not manuals of English literature, but merely Readers, the matter of which is drawn entirely from authors of recognised standing. All the usual aids given in Readers are supplied; but illustrations, as affording no help in dealing with Literature, are excluded from the series.
“The volumes, which are capitally printed, consist of selected readings of increasing difficulty, to which notes and exercises are added at the end. The selected pieces are admirably chosen, especially in the later books, which will form a beginning for a really sound and wide appreciation of the stores of good English verse and prose.”—Athenæum.
“The selected readings... are interesting, and possessed of real literary value. The books are well bound, the paper is excellent, and the unusual boldness and clear spacing of the type go far to compensate for the entire absence of pictorial illustrations.”—Guardian.
A very excellent gradus to the more accessible heights of the English Parnassus.... The appendices on spelling, word-building, and grammar are the work of a skilful, practical teacher.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
“If we had the making of the English Educational Code for Elementary Schools, we should insert a regulation that all boys and girls should spend two whole years on these four books, and on nothing else.”—Bradford Observer.
“The books are graded with remarkable skill.”—Glasgow Herald.
“Absolutely the best set of all the history readers that have hitherto been published.”—The Guardian.

Moira O’Neill, Author of ‘Songs of the Glen of Antrim,’ writing to Mr Blackwood, says: “F.’s ‘Stories of the English’ was written for my little daughter Susan. The child is quite fascinated by it, but equally so are all the grown-up friends to whom I have shown it. I lent it once to a sailor uncle, and he sat up to all hours of that night with it, and afterwards told me that he could hardly believe that such an account of Nelson’s great battles had been written by a woman, because it was technically accurate. And a soldier friend and critic used almost the same words about the account of Marlborough’s campaigns. F. is the most patient and faithful student of history that I know. She has such a strong literary sense that she simply could not write anything except in a literary form, and combined with it she has that rare thing, a judicial mind. This, I think, gives her work a quite peculiar value.”

Practical Teacher.—“Our readers would do well to write for a specimen of this book, and of the blank exercise-books ruled on the same principle. They are worth careful attention.”
School World.—“Those teachers who are anxious to train their pupils to write in the style associated with Civil Service Competitions should find the copy-books designed by Mr Pearce very useful. The writing is certainly simple; it may, in fact, be reduced to four elements, in which the pupil is rigorously exercised in the earlier books before proceeding in later numbers to continuous writing.”
Schoolmaster.—“Those of our readers in search of new books should see these.”
Journal of Education.—“Aids the eye and guides the hand, and thus checkmates any bias towards error in the slope.”
