"Mr. Bardsley has faithfully consulted the original mediæval documents and works from which the origin and development of surnames can alone be satisfactorily traced. He has furnished a valuable contribution to the literature of surnames, and we hope to hear more of him in this field."-Times.

"Mr. Bardsley's volume is a very good specimen of the work which the nineteenth century can turn out. He has evidently bestowed a great deal of attention, not only upon surnames, but upon philology in general. The book is a mine of information."-Westminster Review.

"We welcome this book as an important addition to our knowledge of an important and interesting subject."-Athenæum.

the Brothers GRIMM, and Translated by EDGAR TAYLOR. Edited, with an Introduction, by JOHN RUSKIN. With 22 Illustrations after the inimitable designs of GEORGE CRUIKSHANK. Both Series complete. Square crown 8vo, 6s. 6d.; gilt leaves, 7s. 6d.

"The illustrations of this volume are of quite sterling and admirable art, in a class precisely parallel in elevation to the character of the tales which they illustrate; and the original etchings, as I have before said in the Appendix to my 'Elements of Drawing, were unrivalled in masterfulness of touch since Rembrandt (in some qualities of delineation, unrivalled even by him). . To make somewhat enlarged copies of them, looking at them through a magnifying glass, and never putting two lines where Cruikshank has put only one, would be an exercise in decision and severe drawing which would leave afterwards little to be learnt in schools."-Extract from Introduction by JOHN RUSKIN.
