( from publjshed and unpubijshkd soubces . ) BY G . H . LEWES , Author of the " Biographical History of Philosophy , " &c . " Goethe ' s heart , which few knew , was as great as his intellect , which all knew . "—Jung Stilling . " 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 . "—Daily News . . " Mr . Lewes has written a work of art , and not thrown before the 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 enabled Mr . Lewes to convey a lively representation of the man Goethe as he lived , of the society of which ho was the centre , of the general characteristics of the time ; and , to blend with all thia , 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 oftlio 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 , aud was by that gift calling him to discharge great duties .

THE NOCTES AMBEOSIANJB . This day is published , complete , in 4 vols ., crown 8 vo , price 24 s . cloth , rpHE NOCTES AMBROSIAN 2 E , 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 , and 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 impression , in a degree rarely equalled , of being written out of the 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 tlio 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 Iteview . " With the exception of Job . Plato , and Shakspeare , who are beyond all comparison , we hesitate not to pronounce the Noctes' of Christopher worth the finest dialogues , as far as we know , in any language or literature . "—Eclectic Review . "WisjjJAM Blaokwood and Sons , Edinburgh and London ; to bo had of all booksellers .
