"It is one of the most creditable productions of the American book-maker, who has slowly but surely come to the front rank. The work possesses a high order of artistic excellence."-DETROIT FREE PRESS.

"The photogravures are very handsomely reproduced indeed, the finest paper is used, and the workmanship on the volume is first-class in every respect."-CLEVELAND LEADER.

"Each plate is faced by letter-press cut to one measure, and hence not to be eriticised for falling short. The volume is calculated to give much pleasure and no little information."-EVENING POST (N. Y.)

"The pictures and narrative will enable one to travel in England's green and pleasant land without stirring from his fireside, and would be valuable educators in any home where there are children."-PITTSBURG TIMES.

Among the many illustrated works on the scenery, customs and architecture of the world which have been issued since the introduction of the half-tone process of engraving, there have been none which parallel Beautiful Britain,' issued by The Werner Company."-KANSAS CITY JOURNAL.

"Stay-at-homes with the good taste to appreciate the beauties here revealed will find a store of pleasurable instruction in the pictures alone. The volume is far too large for the tourist to carry with him, but the traveler who makes it a point to see as many as possible of the castles and manors of rural England will find this a delightful souvenir. ."-BOSTON HERALD.

.. A Card From.. DR. ROSENTHAL

"THE MEISTERSCHAFT
SYSTEM was written by me
twenty-two years ago. The
science of practical lin-
guistry has so rapidly ad-
vanced of late years that I
became dissatisfied with my
former works, and after
twenty years' experience I
have at last matured an im-
proved system for studying

and teaching languages, entitled
"The Rosenthal Method of Practical Linguistry."
It teaches languages from the pupil's standpoint, and
the lessons are so natural, easy and practical that any
one is enabled to learn to speak fluently and correctly,
German, French or Spanish. Thousands of educators
have sent me their enthusiastic endorsements, and I
most heartily commend my latest work to all
persons desirous of speaking foreign languages.
RICHARD S. ROSENTHAL.
Mastered in

ten

German, French, Spanish weeks without leav

ing your home, by "The Rosenthal Method of Practical Linguistry." Not a book in the common acceptation of the word, but practical lessons for practical people by Dr. Rosenthal, formerly private tutor to the Imperial Family of Austria, Official Chief Interpreter for the City Spoken at Home in Ten Weeks of New York, etc. Pupils taught as if actually in the presence of the teacher Dr. Rosenthal answers all questions and corrects all exercises free of charge.
