BOOKS OF THE WEST COUNTRY

THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF ROBERT STEPHEN HAWKER

Sometime Vicar of Morwenstow. Compiled by his Son-in-Law, /C. E. Byles/, from hitherto unpublished manuscripts. With numerous Illustrations, including Lithographs by /J. Ley Pethybridge/, two Sketches by the /Earl of Carlisle/, reproductions from contemporary Prints, Portraits, Photographs, etc. Crown 8vo. Price 7s. 6d. net.

_TIMES._--“A well-written life is not, as Carlyle declared it to
be, almost as rare as a well-spent one; it is a much rarer thing
indeed. Mr. Byles has given us a book which will earn the gratitude
of those whose love of poetry urges them to a knowledge of the
poet.... Hawker dedicated his works to Prince Posterity, and the
dedication will be accepted by many readers of the new biography,
who will find in Robert Hawker one of the knights of his own
Sangraal, ‘thorough men.’”

_MORNING POST._--“Gratitude is distinctly due to Mr. Byles for
his new life of his father-in-law.... There are many excellent
illustrations.... Mr. J. Ley Pethybridge has the very spirit of the
West Country.”

_DAILY TELEGRAPH._--“As soon as the volume is opened one finds
oneself in the presence of a real original, a man of ability,
genius, and eccentricity, of whom one cannot know too much.... He
was every inch a man.... No one will read this fascinating and
charmingly produced book without thanks to Mr. Byles and a desire
to visit--or revisit--Morwenstow.”

_DAILY NEWS._--“Here at length is the authentic life--the record,
mainly in his own letters, of one of the most fascinating, wayward,
independent personalities of the nineteenth century. The man here
wrote out his heart’s confession.... The comparison is, indeed,
with Carlyle.... Each possessed a spiritual vision denied to the
common crowd; each mingles passages of eloquence and lamentation
with outbreaks of fury and a shaggy, boisterous humour. Hawker was
a unique figure in Victorian England.”

_STANDARD._--“A breezy book, with plenty of salt in it--of the sea
and of common-sense.”

CORNISH BALLADS AND OTHER POEMS

By ROBERT STEPHEN HAWKER

Edited, with a Preface, by /C. E. Byles/. With numerous Illustrations by /J. Ley Pethybridge/ and others, and a special binding designed from oak carvings in the churches of Morwenstow and Welcombe.

Crown 8vo, 5s. net.

_This book contains Hawker’s complete poetical works, including
several pieces previously uncollected._

_TIMES._--“‘The Quest of the Sangraal’ is an exquisitely moulded
torso ... the fragment of his epic gives him a sure place among the
poets who are only minor because their supreme moments are few.”

_ACADEMY._--“His fragment of the ‘Sangraal’ is worthy to be
compared with Tennyson’s treatment of the subject.... The excellent
popular edition.... Essential to every lover of the Cornish poet.”

FOOTPRINTS OF FORMER MEN IN FAR CORNWALL

By ROBERT STEPHEN HAWKER

Edited, with an Introduction, by /C. E. Byles/, and containing numerous Illustrations by /J. Ley Pethybridge/. Crown 8vo, 5s. net. [Uniform with “Cornish Ballads.”]

_LITERARY WORLD._--“Reading these sketches, we come upon passages
which Ruskin himself might have written. There is in them a rare
rich flavour of the author’s individuality, something of the
atmosphere, the colour, the rugged grandeur of the coast.”

_WORLD._--“His book is a peculiarly delightful one, full of that
indescribable charm which permeates Scott’s novels.... The style
is inimitable, the anecdotes are quaint and original, and the
illustrations are well chosen and excellently reproduced; and a
word of praise is due to the tasteful binding.”

* * * * *

THE WINGLESS VICTORY. By /M. P. Willcocks/. Crown 8vo, 6s.

_TIMES._--“Such books are worth keeping on the shelves, even by the
classics, for they are painted in colours that do not fade.”

_OUTLOOK._--“A very remarkable work, which places Miss Willcocks in
the first rank ... a novel built to last.”

_TRIBUNE._--“Miss Willcocks’s splendid book ... a very strong and
able novel, deserving high praise and wide popularity--a novel to
read and to remember.”

_DAILY MAIL._--“‘The Wingless Victory’ stands out as something
quite out of the common.... In its grasp of character and
circumstance, in its rare wisdom, and, above all, in its unerring
insight into the deep springs of human action, it is a remarkable
achievement which entitles its author to a first place in the ranks
of contemporary novelists. This is high praise, but we venture to
prophesy it will be endorsed by critics and readers alike.”

_STANDARD._--“It is an excellent thing for any reader to come
across a book so fresh and fervent, so instinct with genuine
passion and emotion, and all the fierce primitive joys of
existence, as is the ‘The Wingless Victory’ ... really a book of
remarkable strength and glow and insight.”

_DAILY NEWS._--“Miss Willcocks shows wonderful insight into
character ... and her skill in this regard and in her descriptions
of the wild beauty of the Cornish scenery often make us feel that
she is a novelist with a great future.”

_ACADEMY._--“Mr. John Lane is to be congratulated on having
discovered Miss Willcocks, and if her latest work is not a great
success, it will not be creditable to the discernment of the
reading public.”

* * * * *

WIDDICOMBE: A Novel. By /M. P. Willcocks/. Crown 8vo, 6s.

_MORNING POST._--“The characterisation is both discriminating and
subtle.”

_EVENING STANDARD._--“Wonderfully alive ... a fine, rather unusual
novel. There are some striking studies of women.”

* * * * *

A CHILD OF THE SHORE: A Romance of Cornwall. By S. M. Fox. Crown 8vo, 6s.

_MORNING LEADER._--“A remarkable book, glowing, fanciful, and
fantastic by turns.”

_OUTLOOK._--“An unusually good piece of imaginative work.”

* * * * *

THE FISHERS: A Novel. By /J. H. Harris/. Crown 8vo. 6s.

_MORNING POST._--“A notable book.”

_TIMES._--“A fascinating story; the author is thoroughly well
informed as to his subject.”

THE CHRONICLE OF A CORNISH GARDEN. By /Harry Roberts/. With 7 Full-page Illustrations and a Cover Design by _F. L. Griggs._ Crown 8vo, 5s. net.

_THE LITERARY WORLD._--“The Chronicle is written in a frank,
unaffected style, and will suggest useful ideas to other garden
lovers.”

SIR BEVILL

By ARTHUR CHRISTOPHER THYNNE

With 7 Illustrations by /J. Ley Pethybridge/, and a Portrait of Sir Bevill Granville after Vandyck.

Crown 8vo, 6s.

_ACADEMY._--“Altogether delightful, setting the reader amid broom
and heather on the Devon moors, or by the sounding sea on the
Cornish coast.... All the everyday life is admirably rendered, and
many of the side characters are brilliantly sketched.”

_SATURDAY REVIEW._--“Master Teague is almost as magnificent in
his hypocritical villainy as our old friend Trusty Tomkins of
‘Woodstock.’ ... The stag hunt, the witch hunt, the gipsy camp, the
Court masque, and the battle are admirable.”

_OUTLOOK._--“A very living and lovable bit of work, sweet with the
scent of heather and breath of the sea.”

_DAILY MAIL._--“A rollicking good romance of Stuart days.”

_DAILY EXPRESS._--“Well written, exciting, and breezy of the
western moors.”

/Mr. G. R. SIMS/, in _REFEREE_.--“A most delightful book,
the work of an old friend of mine, Canon Thynne, who has, in ‘Sir
Bevill,’ told with skill and charm and authority, a story of
the days of Charles I. I have spent some sleepless nights very
pleasantly with ‘Sir Bevill.’”

_DAILY CHRONICLE._--“The author describes well, and has the gift of
telling incident.”

⁂ _It was Schiller who said: “Twine no wreath for the actor, since
his work is oral and ephemeral.” “Stars of the Stage” may in some
degree remove this reproach. There are hundreds of thousands of
playgoers, and both editor and publisher think it reasonable to
assume that a considerable number of these would like to know
something about actors, actresses, and dramatists, whose work they
nightly applaud. Each volume will be carefully illustrated, and as
far as text, printing, and paper are concerned will be a notable
book. Great care has been taken in selecting the biographers, who
in most cases have already accumulated much appropriate material._

NAPOLEON & THE INVASION OF ENGLAND:

The Story of the Great Terror, 1797-1805. By /H. F. B. Wheeler/ and /A. M. Broadley/. With upwards of 100 Full-page Illustrations reproduced from Contemporary Portraits, Prints, etc.; eight in Colour. Two Volumes. 32_s._ net.

⁂ _Hitherto no book dealing exhaustively with Napoleon’s colossal
plans for invading the United Kingdom, and our own strenuous
measures to resist his coming, has appeared in the English
language. This work, which has been in preparation for several
years, is a careful study of this neglected phase of Napoleonic
history. It not only deals with the military and naval preparations
made by both nations, but with the more picturesque side of
their campaign. While Napoleon was riding along the sands of
Boulogne encouraging the shipbuilders and organising the Army of
England--which was to conquer half Europe as the Grand Army--Pitt
was drilling Volunteers at Walmer Castle, Fox was exercising as a
private in the Chertsey Volunteers, and the peace-loving Addington
appeared in the House of Commons in military uniform. The churches
were stored with arms, and two hours’ drilling was undergone every
Sunday, to say nothing of week-days. Never before or since has
the pencil of the cartoonist played so important a part in the
formation of public opinion. Patriotism on paper was rampant. From
1798 till 1805, when Trafalgar lifted the war-cloud which hung over
the Kingdom, pen and press were turning out history in pictures
by hundreds, as well as popular songs. Caricatures, squibs, and
broadsides against Napoleon and the threatened invasion did much
to encourage the population to prepare to resist the legions of
France. The facile pencils of Gillray, the Cruikshanks, Ansell,
Rowlandson, West, Woodward, and a score of lesser lights, were
never idle. Many unique cartoons and other illustrations appear in
these volumes, which also include important letters, never before
published, of George III, the Duke of Buckingham, Lord Brougham,
Decies, Richard Cumberland, Thomas Order Powlett, Mrs. Piozzi, and
other celebrities._

THE FALL OF NAPOLEON. By /Oscar Browning/, /M.A./, Author of “The Boyhood and Youth of Napoleon.” With numerous Full-page Illustrations. Demy 8vo (9 × 5-3/4 inches). 12_s._ 6_d._ net.

⁂ _The story of the fall of Napoleon has never been adequately
written for English readers, and great misconception still exists
in this country even with regard to the most material facts. The
present volume attempts to supply this omission, and makes use
of the copious recent literature on this portion of Napoleon’s
life, which adds so largely to our knowledge of the subject.
The narrative begins with Napoleon’s return to Paris after the
Russian disaster. It gives a complete account of the campaigns
of 1813 and 1814, based very largely upon personal knowledge
of the battlefields. The events connected with the abdication
at Fontainebleau are carefully described. The life in Elba is
painted, and the marvellous march to Paris dealt with in detail.
In treating of the Hundred Days the attitude of the English
Government has received much attention, and the Waterloo campaign
has been dealt with from the point of view of the best and most
recent authorities. The book concludes with a minute account of
Napoleon’s surrender at Aix, which has never before been properly
presented in an English dress, and leaves Napoleon on board the
“Northumberland.” The book will form a companion volume to “The
Boyhood and Youth of Napoleon,” by the same author._

THE BOYHOOD &. YOUTH OF NAPOLEON, 1769-1793. Some Chapters on the
early life of Bonaparte. By /Oscar Browning/, /M.A./ With
numerous Illustrations, Portraits, etc. Crown 8vo. 5_s._ net.

_Daily News._--“Mr. Browning has with patience, labour, careful
study, and excellent taste given us a very valuable work, which
will add materially to the literature on this most fascinating of
human personalities.”

_Literary World._--“ ... Mr. Browning has examined all the
available sources of information and carefully weighed his
historical evidence. His discriminating treatment has resulted in a
book that is ... one that arrests attention by the conviction its
reasoned conclusions carry.”

_World._--“The story of Napoleon’s childhood could not have had an
abler or more sympathetic narrator than the author of this very
fascinating work.”

* * * * *

THE DUKE OF REICHSTADT (NAPOLEON II.) By /Edward de
Wertheimer/. Translated from the German. With numerous
Illustrations. Demy 8vo. _21s._ net. (Second Edition.)

_Times._--“A most careful and interesting work which presents
the first complete and authoritative account of the life of this
unfortunate Prince.”

_Westminster Gazette._--“This book, admirably produced, reinforced
by many additional portraits, is a solid contribution to history
and a monument of patient, well-applied research.”

_Public Opinion._--“No student of Napoleon’s life can afford to
miss this book, which tells the story of his son, who was variously
known as King of Rome, the Duke of Parma, Napoleon II, and the Duke
of Reichstadt.... The story of his life is admirably told.”

_Bookman._--“This is the first authoritative book on the subject
of the Duke of Reichstadt (Napoleon II) and his short, dramatic
life. The present biography is full of fresh interest, and is
exceptionally valuable owing to the numerous portraits which are
included.”

NAPOLEON’S CONQUEST OF PRUSSIA, 1806. By /F. Loraine Petre/,

K.G., etc. With Maps, Battle Plans, Portraits, and 16 Full-page
Illustrations. Demy 8vo (9 × 5-3/4 inches). 12_s._
6_d._ net.

_Scotsman._--“Neither too concise, nor too diffuse, the book is
eminently readable. It is the best work in English on a somewhat
circumscribed subject.”

_Outlook._--“Mr. Petre has visited the battlefields and read
everything, and his monograph is a model of what military history,
handled with enthusiasm and literary ability, can be.”

RALPH HEATHCOTE. Letters of a Diplomatist During the Time of
Napoleon, Giving an Account of the Dispute between the Emperor and
the Elector of Hesse. By /Countess Günther Gröben/. With
Numerous Illustrations. Demy 8vo (9 × 5-3/4 inches). 12_s._ 6_d._
net.

⁂ _Ralph Heathcote, the son of an English father and an Alsatian
mother, was for some time in the English diplomatic service as
first secretary to Mr. Brook Taylor, minister at the Court of
Hesse, and on one occasion found himself very near to making
history. Napoleon became persuaded that Taylor was implicated in a
plot to procure his assassination, and insisted on his dismissal
from the Hessian Court. As Taylor refused to be dismissed, the
incident at one time seemed likely to result to the Elector in the
loss of his throne. Heathcote came into contact with a number of
notable people, including the Miss Berrys, with whom he assures his
mother he is not in love. On the whole, there is much interesting
material for lovers of old letters and journals._

MEMOIRS OF THE COUNT DE CARTRIE. A record of the extraordinary

Masson/, Appendices and Notes by /Pierre Amédée Pichot/,
and other hands, and numerous Illustrations, including a
Photogravure Portrait of the Author. Demy 8vo. 12_s._ 6_d._ net.

_Daily News._--“We have seldom met with a human document which has
interested us so much.”

_Dundee Advertiser._--“The identification and publication of the
Memoirs of Count de Cartrie are due to as smart a piece of literary
detective work as has been reported for many years.”

_Liverpool Courier._--“Mr. Lane and his French coadjutors are
entitled to the utmost credit for the pains which they have taken
to reconstruct and publish in such complete form the recollections
of an eyewitness of important events concerning which even now no
little dubiety exists.”

_Athenæum._--“As a record of personal suffering and indomitable
perseverance against opposing circumstances the narrative of De
Cartrie’s escape to the Eastern frontier, in the disguise of a
master-gunner, could not easily be surpassed.”

_World._--“The book is very entertaining, and will be read with
pleasure by all who delight in the byways of history.”

WOMEN OF THE SECOND EMPIRE. Chronicles of the Court of Napoleon
III. By /Frédéric Loliée/. With an introduction by
/Richard Whiteing/ and 53 full-page Illustrations, 3 in
Photogravure. Demy 8vo. 21_s._ net.

_Standard._--“M. Frédéric Loliée has written a remarkable
book, vivid and pitiless in its description of the intrigue
and dare-devil spirit which flourished unchecked at the French
Court.... Mr. Richard Whiteing’s introduction is written with
restraint and dignity.”

Mr. /James Douglas/ in the _Star_.--“At a moment when most
novels send you to sleep, let me whisper the name of a book which
will amuse you in most melancholy mood. One of the freshest,
gayest, and wittiest volumes of gossip and anecdote I have ever
read.”

_Sunday Times._--“A delicious banquet of scandal, contributions to
which have been secured by the artful device of persuading ladies
not so much to make their own confessions as to talk about their
friends.... The illustrations present us with a veritable galaxy of
beauty.”

_Daily Telegraph._--“It is a really fascinating story, or series
of stories, set forth in this volume.... Here are anecdotes
innumerable of the brilliant women of the Second Empire, so that
in reading the book we are not only dazzled by the beauty and
gorgeousness of everything, but we are entertained by the record
of things said and done, and through all we are conscious of the
coming ‘gloom and doom’ so soon to overtake the Court. Few novels
possess the fascination of this spirited work, and many readers
will hope that the author will carry out his proposal of giving us
a further series of memories of the ‘Women of the Second Empire.’”

MEMOIRS OF MADEMOISELLE DES ÉCHEROLLES. Translated from the French

K. Fortescue/, Portraits, etc. 5_s._ net.

_Liverpool Mercury._--“ ... this absorbing book.... The work has a
very decided historical value. The translation is excellent, and
quite notable in the preservation of idiom.”

JANE AUSTEN’S SAILOR BROTHERS. Being the life and Adventures of
Sir Francis Austen, /G.C.B./, Admiral of the Fleet, and
Rear-Admiral Charles Austen. By J. H. and /E. C. Hubback/.
With numerous Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 12_s._ 6_d._ net.

_Morning Post._--“ ... May be welcomed as an important addition to
Austeniana ...; it is besides valuable for its glimpses of life in
the Navy, its illustrations of the feelings and sentiments of naval
officers during the period that preceded and that which followed
the great battle of just one century ago, the battle which won so
much but which cost us--Nelson.”

_Globe._--“The book is doubly fortunate in its appearance, for it
appeals not only to the lovers of Jane Austen’s novels, but also to
those who value sidelights on the most stirring times of the Navy.”

POETRY AND PROGRESS IN RUSSIA. By /Rosa Newmarch/. With 6
full-page Portraits. Demy 8vo (9 × 5-3/4 inches). 7_s._ 6_d._ net.

⁂ _This book deals with an aspect of Russian literature hitherto
unjustly neglected in favour of the school of realistic fiction.
Nevertheless, the poets of the earlier half of the 19th century
were the pioneers of the intellectual progress which culminated
in the work of that Pleiad of novelists: Gogol, Tourgeniev,
Dostoievsky, and Tolstoi. The spirit of Russia can never be more
than imperfectly understood by those who, without preparation,
plunge straightway into this tide of realism which marks only
the second stage in the evolution of the national genius. Mrs.
Newmarch’s volume covers a period extending from the first
publications of Poushkin, in 1814, to the death of Nadson, in
1886, and consists of an Introduction and six studies, as follows:
Poushkin, the first and greatest of the Russian national poets;
Lermontov, the meteoric poet of the Romantic School; Koltsov,
the Russian Burns; Nikitin, the singer of Russian rural life;
Nekrassov, the poet of revolution; and Nadson, whose work is
characteristic of the decadence of Russian poetry._

THE LIFE OF PETER ILICH TCHAIKOVSKY (1840-1893). By his Brother,
/Modeste Tchaikovsky/. Edited and abridged from the Russian
and German Editions by /Rosa Newmarch/. With Numerous
Illustrations and Facsimiles and an Introduction by the Editor.
Demy 8vo. 21_s._ net. Second edition.

_The Times._--“A most illuminating commentary on Tchaikovsky’s
music.”

_World._--“One of the most fascinating self-revelations by an
artist which has been given to the world. The translation is
excellent, and worth reading for its own sake.”

_Contemporary Review._--“The book’s appeal is, of course,
primarily to the music-lover; but there is so much of human and
literary interest in it, such intimate revelation of a singularly
interesting personality, that many who have never come under the
spell of the Pathetic Symphony will be strongly attracted by what
is virtually the spiritual autobiography of its composer. High
praise is due to the translator and editor for the literary skill
with which she has prepared the English version of this fascinating
work.... There have been few collections of letters published
within recent years that give so vivid a portrait of the writer as
that presented to us in these pages.”

COKE OF NORFOLK AND HIS FRIENDS: The Life of Thomas William Coke,
First Earl of Leicester of the second creation, containing an
account of his Ancestry, Surroundings, Public Services, and Private
Friendships, and including many Unpublished Letters from Noted Men
of his day, English and American. By /A. M. W. Stirling/.
With 20 Photogravure and upwards of 40 other Illustrations
reproduced from Contemporary Portraits, Prints, etc. Demy 8vo. 2
vols. 32_s._ net.

⁂ _The name of Coke of Norfolk was once known throughout the
civilized world, now it is familiar to very few. Coke occupied
a unique position in his generation: as a landlord-owner he
was credited with having transformed the agriculture of both
hemispheres; as a politician he remained for over half a century
the “Father” of the House of Commons, exercising by the force of
his example a peculiar influence upon the political world of his
day. He was offered a peerage seven times for his services by seven
different Prime Ministers. Coke was especially fortunate in his
friendships, and he preserved his correspondence. The letters of
the noted men of his day recreate Coke’s generation for us, and
we see many famous men in a guise with which we are but little
acquainted. We see Lafayette as the humble farmer, absorbed in
rearing his pigs and his cattle; Lord Hastings as a youth climbing
a volcano during an eruption; George IV as the fickle friend,
pocketing humiliation in order to condone deceit, or, at a period
of exciting national danger, filling his letters to Coke with
characteristically trivial speculations whether the Sergeant whom
he was sending to recruit the Holkham Yeomanry would, or would
not, get drunk. Again, we see Fox as a slovenly schoolboy playing
pitch-and-toss at Eton; Nelson, but as the delicate son of an
obscure Norfolk clergyman. Incongruous in their endless variety,
the characters move across the pages--Pope Clement XIV, Louise of
Stolberg, Dr. Parr, Amelia Opie, Honest King William, the Duke of
Sussex, Chantrey, Lord Erskine, Gainsborough, Roscoe, Sir James
Smith, Sir Humphry Davy--statesmen, scientists, artists, literati,
a great international train, amongst whom, and perhaps more
remarkable than all at that especial date, are celebrities from
the United States--at a date when, be it remembered, all who came
thence were looked at askance as the recent foes of England, and
were, as Raitres remarks--“Foreigners, and of a nation hitherto but
little known in our circles.” And for all this we have had to wait
sixty-five years, because, of the many biographies commenced, the
one that swallowed up all the rest was eventually lost. A feature
of this book is the wealth of illustrating material, including many
hitherto unpublished pictures by famous hands._

DEVONSHIRE CHARACTERS AND STRANGE EVENTS. By /S. Baring-Gould/,

Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 21_s._ net.

⁂ _Notices of some of the most singular characters and events
connected with the County of Devon--a county that has been
exceptionally prolific of such. The personages named, and whose
lives are given, belong to a lower plane than the great men of
the county who have made their mark in history. But the range of
characters is really wonderful. The volume is profusely illustrated
with reproductions from old and rare prints._

THE TRUE STORY OF MY LIFE: an Autobiography by /Alice M.
Diehl/, Novelist, Writer, and Musician. Demy 8vo. 10_s._ 6_d._
net.

⁂ _These confessions, written with a naïve frankness rare in
present times, have been pronounced by an authority to be a
human document of utmost importance to all interested in the
great subjects of life and genius. During the years following
a remarkable childhood of prodigies of literary and musical
attainments, the Author made brilliant careers, first in the world
of music, then in that of literature. An intimate friend of the
late Sir Henry Irving, his confidences to her throw a new light
on the inner life of this somewhat enigmatical man. But the same
may also be said of her friendship or acquaintance with many other
personages of world-wide renown. In music, we read of Berlioz,
Ferdinand Hiller, Jenny Lind, Sivori, Thalborg, Henselt (her master
in his Silesian Castle), Piatti, Sainton and his wife, Pietzius,
Cruvelli, the Princess Czartoryska, and other eminent pupils of
Chopin, as well as a host of others known in all countries and
climes. In literature, besides such stars as Robert Browning, Bret
Harte, “Ouida,” Miss Braddon, Mrs. Riddell, Amelia B. Edwards, R.
E. Hichens, the work abounds in familiar sketches of former men
and women whose names are so well known that any information about
their personalities is of absorbing interest._

Unknown Fourteenth-Century Writer by /Valentina Hawtrey/.
With an Introductory Note by /Vernon Lee/, and 14 Full-page
Reproductions from the Old Masters. Crown 8vo. 5_s._ net.

_Daily News._--“Miss Valentina Hawtrey has given a most excellent
English version of this pleasant work.”

_Academy._--“The fourteenth-century fancy plays delightfully
around the meagre details of the Gospel narrative, and presents
the heroine in quite an unconventional light.... In its directness
and artistic simplicity and its wealth of homely detail the story
reads like the work of some Boccaccio of the cloister; and fourteen
illustrations taken from Italian painters happily illustrate the
charming text.”

his essays.”

_Punch._--“His fund of good stories is inexhaustible, and his
urbanity never fails. On the whole, this book is one of the very
best examples of literature on literature and life.”

HUBERT AND JOHN VAN EYCK: Their Life and Work. By /W. H.
James Weale/. With 41 Photogravure and 95 Black and White
Reproductions. Royal 4to. £5 5_s._ net.

/Sir Martin Conway’s Note./

_Nearly half a century has passed since Mr. W. H. James Weale,
then resident at Bruges, began that long series of patient
investigations into the history of Netherlandish art which was
destined to earn so rich a harvest. When he began work Memlinc was
still called Hemling, and was fabled to have arrived at Bruges as
a wounded soldier. The van Eycks were little more than legendary
heroes. Roger Van der Weyden was little more than a name. Most of
the other great Netherlandish artists were either wholly forgotten
or named only in connection with paintings with which they had
nothing to do. Mr. Weale discovered Gerard David, and disentangled
his principal works from Memlinc’s, with which they were then
confused. During a series of years he published in the “Beffroi,”
a magazine issued by himself, the many important records from
ancient archives which threw a flood of light upon the whole origin
and development of the early Netherlandish school. By universal
admission he is hailed all over Europe as the father of this study.
It is due to him in great measure that the masterpieces of that
school, which by neglect were in danger of perishing fifty years
ago, are now recognised as among the most priceless treasures of
the Museums of Europe and the United States. The Publication by
him, therefore, in the ripeness of his years and experience, of the
result of his studies on the van Eycks is a matter of considerable
importance to students of art history. Lately, since the revived
interest in the works of the Early French painters has attracted
the attention of untrained speculators to the superior schools of
the Low Countries, a number of wild theories have been started
which cannot stand upright in the face of recorded facts. A book is
now needed which will set down all those facts in full and accurate
form. Fullness and accuracy are the characteristics of all Mr.
Weale’s work._

/VINCENZO FOPPA OF BRESCIA, Founder of the Lombard School, His
Life and Work./ By /Constance Jocelyn Ffoulkes/ and
/Monsignor Rodolfo Majocchi/, /D.D./, Rector of the Collegio
Borromeo, Pavia. Based on research in the Archives of Milan, Pavia,
Brescia, and Genoa, and on the study of all his known works. With
over 100 Illustrations, many in Photogravure, and 100 Documents.
Royal 4to. £5. 5_s._ net.

⁂ _No complete Life of Vincenco Foppa, one of the greatest of the
North Italian Masters, has ever been written: an omission which
seems almost inexplicable in these days of over-production in the
matter of biographies of painters, and of subjects relating to
the art of Italy. In Milanese territory--the sphere of Foppa’s
activity during many years--he was regarded by his contemporaries
as unrivalled in his art, and his right to be considered the head
and founder of the Lombard school is undoubted. His influence was
powerful and far-reaching, extending eastwards beyond the limits
of Brescian territory, and south and westwards to Liguria and
Piedmont. In the Milanese district it was practically dominant for
over a quarter of a century, until the coming of Leonardo da Vinci
thrust Foppa and his followers into the shade, and induced him to
abandon Pavia, which had been his home for more than thirty years,
and to return to Brescia. The object of the authors of this book
has been to present a true picture of the master’s life based upon
the testimony of records in Italian archives; all facts hitherto
known relating to him have been brought together; all statements
have been verified; and a great deal of new and unpublished
material has been added. The authors have unearthed a large amount
of new material relating to Foppa, one of the most interesting
facts brought to light being that he lived for twenty-three years
longer than was formerly supposed. The illustrations will include
several pictures by Foppa hitherto unknown in the history of art
and others which have never before been published, as well as
reproductions of every existing work by the master at present
known._
