THE NOCTES AMBROSIAN ^ E . This day is published , complete , in 4 vols ., crown 8 vo , price 24 s . cloth , T ^ HE NOCTES AMBROSIAN ^ , forming X the First Volumes of Professor WILSON'S Works . Edited by Professor FERRIER . " And now a word or two in conclusion about these Ambrosian Nights . It is not too much to say that they are the finest dialogues that ever have been written , except those of Plato , sncL with these they do not come into comparison . Plato gives us the feast of reason ; North the flow of soul . . . - The result is a series of dialogues , in exuberance of life delightful , in dramatic truth perfect , full of the most salient descriptions , the most searching criticism , withering satire , manly pathos , and broadest humour . " —Times . " The 'Noctes * are a valuable contribution to our literature . They are the effusions of a powerful mind—wide and various in their subject , embracing the current topics of their time , and throwing no small light on its history . They give the impressi on , in a degree rarely equalled , of being written out of tho author ' s fulness , flowing spontaneously and without effort , and bringing the reader into intercourse not with a litterateur but with a man , while yet they are constructed with admirable dramatic skill in the embodiment and discrimination of the persons who take part in them . They beam with wit and humour , with . vigorous manly sense , with poetry and eloquence , with criticism at once broad and delicate . — Saturday Review . "With the exception of Job . Plato , and Shakspeare , who are beyond all comparison , wo hesitate not to pronounce the ' Noctes' of Christopher North the llnest dialogues , as far as we know , in any language or literature . " —Eclectic Jteviato . . Wiiliau Blaokwood and Sons , Edinburgh and London ; to bo had of all booksellers .

Lewes has written a work of art , and not thrown hefore the public a quarry of raw material . . . . A thorougji study of his subject , a careful preparation extended through many years , and trained skill in authorship , have enabled Mr .

Goethe is shown to have possessed one of the noblest and sweetest natures ever given to erring man , and to have lived as ever m the eyes of the great Taskmaster , who had given him his talents , and was by that gift calling him to discharge great duties .
