⁂ This interesting contribution to Nelson literature is drawn
from the journals and correspondence of the Rev. Edmund Nelson,
Rector of Burnham Thorpe and his youngest daughter, the father
and sister of Lord Nelson. The Rector was evidently a man
of broad views and sympathies, for we find him maintaining
friendly relations with his son and daughter-in-law after their
separation. What is even more strange, he felt perfectly at
liberty to go direct from the house of Mrs. Horatio Nelson in
Norfolk to that of Sir William and Lady Hamilton in London,
where his son was staying. This book shows how completely and
without reserve the family received Lady Hamilton.

A QUEEN OF SHREDS AND PATCHES: The Life of Madame Tallien Notre Dame de Thermidor. From the last days of the French Revolution, until her death as Princess Chimay in 1835. By L. GASTINE.

⁂ Among the many queens of France, queens by right of marriage
with the reigning sovereign, queens of beauty or of intrigue,
the name of Sophie Dawes, the daughter of humble fisherfolk
in the Isle of Wight, better known as "the notorious Mme. de
Feucheres," "The Queen of Chantilly" and "The Montespan de Saint
Leu" in the land which she chose as a suitable sphere in which
to exercise her talents for money-making and for getting on in
the world, stand forth as a proof of what a woman's will can
accomplish when that will is accompanied with an uncommon share
of intelligence.

MARGARET OF FRANCE DUCHESS OF SAVOY. 1523-1574. A Biography with Photogravure Frontispiece and 16 other Illustrations and Facsimile Reproductions of Hitherto Unpublished Letters. Demy 8vo. (9 × 5¾ inches.) 12s. 6d. net.

⁂ A time when the Italians are celebrating the Jubilee of
the Italian Kingdom is perhaps no unfitting moment in which to
glance back over the annals of that royal House of Savoy which
has rendered Italian unity possible. Margaret of France may
without exaggeration be counted among the builders of modern
Italy. She married Emanuel Philibert, the founder of Savoyard
greatness: and from the day of her marriage until the day of her
death she laboured to advance the interests of her adopted land.

MADAME DE BRINVILLIERS AND HER TIMES. 1630-1676. By HUGH STOKES. With a Photogravure Frontispiece and 16 other Illustrations. Demy 8vo. (9 × 5¾ inches.) 12s. 6d. net.

⁂ The name of Marie Marguerite d'Aubray, Marquise de
Brinvilliers, is famous in the annals of crime, but the true
history of her career is little known. A woman of birth and
rank, she was also a remorseless poisoner, and her trial was
one of the most sensational episodes of the early reign of
Louis XIV. The author was attracted to this curious subject
by Charles le Brun's realistic sketch of the unhappy Marquise
as she appeared on her way to execution. This _chef d'oeuvre_
of misery and agony forms the frontispiece to the volume, and
strikes a fitting keynote to an absorbing story of human passion
and wrong-doing.

THE VICISSITUDES OF A LADY-IN-WAITING. 1735-1821. By EUGENE WELVERT. Translated from the French by LILIAN O'NEILL. With a Photogravure Frontispiece and 16 other Illustrations. Demy 8vo. (9 × 5¾ inches.) 12s. 6d. net.

⁂ The Duchesse de Narbonne-Lara was Lady-in-Waiting to Madame
Adelaide, the eldest daughter of Louis XV. Around the stately
figure of this Princess are gathered the most remarkable
characters of the days of the Old Regime, the Revolution and the
first Empire. The great charm of the work is that it takes us
over so much and varied ground. Here, in the gay crowd of ladies
and courtiers, in the rustle of flowery silken panniers, in the
clatter of high-heeled shoes, move the figures of Louis XV.,
Louis XVI., Du Barri and Marie-Antoinette. We catch picturesque
glimpses of the great wits, diplomatists and soldiers of the
time, until, finally we encounter Napoleon Bonaparte.
