" Goethe ' s heart , which few knew , was as great as his intellect , , \ . » " knew . "—Jtcng Stillinff . " Written with intense love and profound knowledge of the subject , it throws more light on the character and genius of Goethe than any other work . Finally , it is a perfect mine of admirable impartial criticism , written in a pure English style , and , in short , a life of Goethe worthy of the man "—Datly News . . "Mr Lewes has written a work of art , and not thrown before this public a quarry of raw material . . A thorough study of his subject , a careful preparation extended through many years , and trained skill in authorship , have enablld Mr . Lewes to convey a lively representation of the man Goethe as he lived , of the society of which he was the centre , of the general characteristics of the time ; and , to blend with all this , ample analytical criticism on his principal writings and intelligent discussion of the principles on which poetry and prose fiction should be composed . . . . Goethe is shown to have possessed one of the noblest and sweetest natures ever given to erring man , and to have lived as ever in the eyes of the great Taskmaster , who had given him . his talents , and was by that gift calling him to discharge great duties .

Nowready at all the Libraries , in 8 vols ., CHARLES READE'S NEW NOVEL , TT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO MEND . " Few we apprehend , will be inclined to dispute our assertion that this is the most vigorous and various novel which has till now appeared this year . Events , pictures , and emotions succeed each , other with as much power as rapidity . In his tale Mr . Reade shows himself as forcible ami fluent as M . Dumas in Monte Cnsto , ' and as triumphant in carrying us along with him . It deserves , ana we think it will have , readers by the thousand , because it is not merely a work of talent and artifice , but because something of earnest conviction and something of genius has gone to its production .
