OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"Roses and Holly: a Gift-Book for all the Year, is a volume of amusing and interesting and poetic scraps from the pens of all sorts and conditions of authors, very handsomely-indeed, splendidly-bound. . . . Among the artists are some of the most eminent members of the Royal Scottish Academy, and their work has been very ably transferred to wood There is humour, pathos, and beauty in Roses and Holly, as well in the letterpress as in the illustrations; and a neat red line round each page adds not a little to the pleasant effect of the volume. Considering that it is very beautiful, it is also wondrous cheap."-Morning Herald.

"The artists in this book are new to us. They seem to be all Scotchmen, and not one of them but exhibits marked powers. The woodcutters are also all Scotchmen; so is the printer; so is the publisher. The volume is a highly creditable one to Scotch taste, artistic feeling, and liberality, and to every body concerned in its production."-Saturday Review "For really luxurious books, Nimmo's Pen and Pencil Pictures from the Poets, and Gems of Literature, may be well recommended. They are luxurious in the binding, in the print, in the engravings, and in the paper."-Morning Post.
