Chapter XXI: Appendix: Volume

Additional Biographies of English Martyrs, Cornish and Welsh
Saints, Genealogies of Saintly Families, and two Indices to the
entire work (Vol. 16).

_Some Press Notices._

=Daily Chronicle.=--“When it is remembered that in these two
volumes (January and February) the biographies of more than
four hundred saints are to be found, and that in every case the
authorities from which they are derived are set forth; that
in the Introduction the reader is furnished with a succinct
account of the literature of the subject which is the best
_résumé_ that we have in English; that errors in the previous
edition are not left uncorrected--it will be seen how much
is to be expected from this new issue of Mr. Baring-Gould’s
wonderful work, and how much will be found in the sixteen
volumes which will be required to complete it.… No student of
history--to go no further--can dispense with such a valuable
book of reference. There is nothing like it in our language.”

=Standard.=--“The earlier volumes of the new edition are before
us, and even a cursory examination is enough to show that the
work has been thoroughly revised.… The book is of real value,
since it is written with scholarly care, imaginative vision,
and a happy union of charity and courage.”

=Guardian.=--“Whoever reads the more important lives in the
sixteen volumes of which this new edition is to consist, will
be introduced to a region of which historians for the most part
tell him little, and yet one that throws constant light upon
some of the obscurest points of ordinary histories. For this,
and for the pleasure and profit thence derived, he will have to
thank Mr. Baring-Gould.”

=Scotsman.=--“Mr. Baring-Gould, Anglican priest though he
be, fulfils the promise of his original edition in so far as
he does not obtrude either prejudice or sectarianism into his
record of these Saints.”

=British Review and National Observer.=--“The new edition of
Mr. Baring-Gould’s familiar work may well be called monumental,
both on account of its size, and the variety and completeness
of the information to be found in it.”

=Notes and Queries.=--“It is impossible to mention the various
sources whence have been drawn the illustrations, which will
render this work, to those to whom the subject appeals, the
most acceptable, as it is certainly the handsomest, of existing
editions.”

=Weekly Sun.=--“We unhesitatingly commend it as well to the
lover of mediævalism as the student who must have at hand
encyclopædic volumes of reference. No library that aims at
being comprehensive can afford to be without it. No student of
ecclesiastical and cathedral antiquities can neglect it if he
wishes to make a successful study of his particular subject.”

=Christian World.=--“The new edition is tastefully got up, and
is a worthy setting of a great literary enterprise. The ‘Lives
of the Saints’ is a human story of unfading interest.”

_Extracts from Press Notices._

=Athenæum.=--“We may say in brief, if what we have already said
is not sufficient to show it, that a very important chapter of
English history is here treated with a fulness, minuteness,
and lucidity which will not be found in previous accounts, and
we sincerely congratulate Dr. Gasquet on having made such an
important contribution to English historical literature.”

=Guardian.=--“A learned, careful, and successful vindication
of the personal character of the monks.… In Dr. Gasquet’s
skilful hands the dissolution of the monasteries assumes the
proportions of a Greek tragedy.”

=Times.=--“Full of the learning and research which Dr. Gasquet
has made so peculiarly his own.”

=Athenæum.=--“Whatever Dr. Gasquet writes is of interest,
and thanks are due to him for these essays.… Full of rare
information, and real contributions to history.”

=British Review and National Observer.=--“Dr. Gasquet has
started a very curious controversy, which will entertain even
those whom it does not seriously interest, and will familiarise
them incidentally with many facts of history.… The remaining
essays are also rich in quaint, curious information.”

=Scotsman.=--“He has thrown much light on obscure passages and
features of later mediæval history in our country.”

=Notes and Queries.=--“Dr. Gasquet writes clearly and
forcibly, and when touching on controversial points, as he
frequently has to do, he manifests a studied moderation, and
liberality.”

_Some Press Notices of the Large Type Border Edition of the
Waverley Novels._

=The Spectator.=--“We trust that this fine edition of our
greatest and most poetical of novelists will attain, if it has
not already done so, the high popularity it deserves. To all
Scott’s lovers it is a pleasure to know that, despite the daily
and weekly inrush of ephemeral fiction, the sale of his works
is said by the booksellers to rank next below Tennyson’s in
poetry, and above that of everybody else in prose.”

=The Times.=--“It would be difficult to find in these days
a more competent and sympathetic editor of Scott than his
countryman, the brilliant and versatile man of letters who
has undertaken the task; and if any proof were wanted either
of his qualifications or of his skill and discretion in
displaying them, Mr. Lang has furnished it abundantly in his
charming Introduction to ‘Waverley.’ The editor’s own notes are
judiciously sparing, but conspicuously to the point, and they
are very discreetly separated from those of the author, Mr.
Lang’s laudable purpose being to illustrate and explain Scott,
not to make the notes a pretext for displaying his own critical
faculty and literary erudition. The illustrations by various
competent hands are beautiful in themselves and beautifully
executed, and, altogether, the ‘Border Edition’ of the Waverley
Novels bids fair to become the classical edition of the great
Scottish classic.”

=The Athenæum.=-“The handsome ‘Border Edition’ has been brought
by Mr. Nimmo to a successful conclusion. Mr. Nimmo deserves to
be complimented on the manner in which the Edition has been
printed and illustrated, and Mr. Lang on the way in which he
has performed his portion of the work. His Introductions have
been tasteful and readable; he has not overdone his part; and,
while he has supplied much useful information, he has by no
means overburdened the volumes with notes.”

=Notes and Queries.=--“Mr. Nimmo’s spirited and ambitious
enterprise has been conducted to a safe termination, and the
most ideal edition of the Waverley Novels in existence is now
completed.”

=Saturday Review.=--“Of all the many collections of the
Waverley Novels, Mr. Nimmo’s ‘Border Edition’ is incomparably
the most handsome and the most desirable.… Type, paper,
illustrations are altogether admirable.”

=Daily Chronicle.=--“There is absolutely no fault to be found
with it, as to paper, type, or arrangement.”

=Magazine of Art.=--“Size, type, paper, and printing, to say
nothing of the excessively liberal and charming introduction
or of the illustrations, make this perhaps the most desirable
edition of Scott ever issued on this side of the border.”

_Two Important Ornithological Works by Henry Seebohm._

THE STANDARD WORK ON BRITISH BIRDS.

A History or British Birds.

To which is added the Author’s Notes on their Classification
and Geographical Distribution; also Sixty-eight Coloured Plates
of their Eggs. By HENRY SEEBOHM, Author of “Siberia in Europe,”
“Siberia in Asia,” &c. &c.

=Saturday Review.=--“The illustrations are as nearly perfect as
the most careful colour-printing can produce, rivalling--and it
is no slight praise--the admirable egg-pictures of Hewitson,
some of which might almost have been executed by hand; and the
book is written in an easy, pleasant style, redolent of the
field rather than of the study.”

=Zoologist.=--“The text contains not only a description of
each egg and its varieties, but also a very full account of
the life-history of each bird.… If we may conceive the works
of Yarrell and Hewitson rolled into one, with corrections,
emendations, and important additions, and with woodcuts as well
as coloured plates, such a work is Mr. Seebohm’s.”

=Nature.=--“We unhesitatingly express our opinion that since
the time of Macgillivray no such original book as Mr. Seebohm’s
has been published on British ornithology; we think that the
figures of the eggs are by far the best that have yet been
given.”

By HENRY SEEBOHM, Author of “Siberia in Europe,” “Siberia in
Asia,” “A History of British Birds, with Coloured Illustrations
of their Eggs,” &c.

=Nature.=--“This is a handsome volume of more than 500 pages,
and is illustrated by twenty-one coloured plates, drawn in
Mr. Keulemans’s best style. The book is profusely illustrated
by woodcuts, showing the specific characters of the different
species, and these will be invaluable to the student of these
difficult birds. In fact, no work has ever been so remarkably
treated in this respect, and it will be the book of reference
for the _Charadriidæ_ for many years to come.”

NOTE.--This is a work not only valuable to the botanical
student for its pictorial accuracy, but of use also to the
landed proprietor and the farmer, pointing out to them those
grasses which are useful and lucrative in husbandry, and
teaching them the varied soils and positions upon which they
thrive, and explaining their qualities and the several uses
to which they are applied in many branches of manufacture and
industry.

Audubon, and His Journals.

By MARIA R. AUDUBON. With Notes by ELLIOTT COUES.

CONTENTS.--Audubon: A Biography. The European Journals,
1826-29. The Labrador Journal, 1833. The Missouri River
Journal, 1843. The Episodes. With a full Index.

NOTE.--To English people the name of Audubon is a familiar and
respected one, and there is little reason to doubt that the
present work, forming as it does so handsome a monument of his
life’s work, should be acceptable both to the lover of good
books and to the naturalist. The former has the attraction
of Audubon’s picturesque and engaging English style, added
to reminiscences and narratives of a diverse and fascinating
character, and a highly interesting biography of Audubon from
the pen of his granddaughter. The naturalist, on the other
hand, has here for the first time the complete and carefully
edited text of Audubon’s valuable journals, supplemented by
appropriate and interesting notes by so eminent a zoologist as
Dr. Elliott Coues. The entire publication is virtually new,
since even the European journals are here much amplified, while
the Missouri and Labrador journals are practically unpublished,
and the “Episodes” have never before appeared collectively
except in a French translation. The work is one of the widest
interest, and must at once take its place as the authoritative
biography of Audubon, as well as the first adequate
presentation of his journals, which in their now complete form
give “the man instead of the death mask.”

=Times.=--“Audubon’s unpublished manuscripts are the record
of a long, a varied, and an adventurous life, passed in
unremitting activity and indefatigable industry. We must say
at once that for the most part they are fascinating. They are
sensational, instructive, and frankly autobiographical, and
they show a many-sided man in his various aspects, with the
absolute unreserve of innocent egoism.”

=Saturday Review.=--“There is much that will interest readers
of vastly different tastes. Thus the European journals in the
first volume have an interest that is chiefly personal, and we
get interesting scraps of conversation with Sir Walter Scott,
Jeffrey, Wilson, Lord Stanley, Cuvier, St. Hilaire, Selby,
Constant, Gerard, Jardine, and Bewick, as well as many other
notables in the science, art, and literature of Edinburgh,
London, and Paris in the late twenties.”

=Spectator.=--“The two volumes present the life of the great
French-American naturalist in a most attractive form. The
journal of his voyage up the Missouri is now first given to the
world, and the freshness of his life in the woods and of his
own charming personality is not marred by any unwise editing
or comment. The illustrations are excellent, worthy of a work
dealing with the life of the man who used the instruction
received from the revolutionary painter David in his youth to
make the greatest advance in the illustration of nature ever
achieved by one man.”

=Scotsman.=--“A worthy and enduring memorial has been raised
to the great American ornithologist in the two volumes prepared
by his granddaughter. Miss Audubon’s work has been admirably
done; and the worth of the book is much enhanced by the
zoological and other notes which Dr. Coues has appended.”

In Two Volumes, Demy 8vo, Cloth, price 21s. Net.

The English Black Monks of St. Benedict

A Sketch of their History from the coming of St. Augustine to
the Present Day.

By the Rev. ETHELRED L. TAUNTON.

_Some Press Notices._

=Saturday Review.=--“On the whole, it would be difficult within
the limits that the author has set for himself to write a more
interesting book. We recommend, more especially to the general
reader, the three chapters on the life of a monk in the world
and in his monastery, and that describing the life of women
under the rule.”

=Literature.=--“We are struck with the skill with which he has
mastered the details of a somewhat complicated story, and the
clear way he has set it down for the benefit of his readers.”

=Record.=--“We must add a word to express our sense of the
interest and value of the appendix to Volume I., which is
a translation of the Consuetudinary of the monks of St.
Augustine’s, Canterbury. It is a real help to understanding the
ways and works, the helps and the temptations, of the monks.”

=Bookman.=--“Much idle legend has been dissipated by Mr.
Taunton’s researches, many points left dark are now cleared up,
and in the perplexed quarrellings which ruined the prospects of
Catholicism at the close of the reign of Elizabeth, as under
James I. and Charles I., the historian holds a balance which
does not waver.”

The Flora of the Alps.

Being a Description of all the Species of Flowering Plants
indigenous to Switzerland, and of the Alpine Species of the
adjacent mountain districts of France, Italy, and Austria,
including the Pyrenees. By ALFRED W. BENNETT, M.A., B.Sc.,
F.L.S., Lecturer on Botany at St. Thomas’s Hospital.

=Times.=--“Meets a want which has long been felt by English
travellers of a complete illustrated guide to all the flowers
which are indigenous to Switzerland.… The illustrations are
numerous and accurate.”

=Standard.=--“Mr. Bennett gives an adequate description, and
one which is both clear and exact, of all the species of
flowering plants common to Switzerland.”

=Spectator.=--“These two volumes will form comprehensive and
delightful companions to every traveller.”

=Daily News.=--“The letterpress is excellent, as, indeed, we
should have expected from so high an authority; the plates are
likely to be of great service to the traveller, and with their
aid he will be able to identify most of the flowers he may find
among the mountains.”

=Land and Water.=--“These very beautifully illustrated volumes
will be welcomed by the numberless people whose summer holiday
is spent in Switzerland or the Alpine districts.”

Edited by JOHN MAJOR.

=Scotsman.=--“There are all sorts of editions of the fisher’s
classic; but this will appeal most strongly to the man whose
affections attach themselves with an equal tenacity to a good
day’s fishing and a good book.”

=Bookman.=--“In Creswick’s engravings and all the other
pictures--‘embellishments’ they are called in the language of
the forties when Major brought out his edition--will lie the
chief interest and charm. They alone would make Major’s edition
one of the very best to possess.”

=Glasgow Herald.=--“As good an edition of the angler’s classic
as any one need wish to have.”

=Liverpool Post.=--“In these days of processed-blocks it is
indeed refreshing to come upon wood engravings such as the
tailpieces to the different chapters.”

whom age cannot wither nor modern culture stale. ‘Handley
Cross’ certainly used to be, and probably is still, the delight
of every well-constituted schoolboy; while the somewhat soberer
‘Hillingdon Hall’ should have considerable interest for country
folk at the present day, both as a picture of life in the early
days of Queen Victoria, and as containing several eloquent
dissertations by the hero and others on the effect of the
abolition of the Corn-laws upon the agricultural interest.”
