By Lieut.-Col. Andrew C.P. Haggard, D.S.O., Author of "Remarkable Women of France, 1431-1749," etc. _Demy 8vo, cloth gilt, fully illustrated, 16/- net._ Lieut.-Col. Haggard has many times proved that history can be made as fascinating as fiction. Here he deals with the women whose more or less erratic careers influenced, by their love of display, the outbreak which culminated in the Reign of Terror. Most of them lived till after the beginning of the Revolution, and some, like Marie Antoinette, Théroigne de Méricourt and Madame Roland, were sucked down in the maelstrom which their own actions had intensified. THE MEMOIRS OF THE DUKE de ST. SIMON Newly translated and edited by Francis Arkwright. _In six volumes, demy 8vo, handsomely bound in cloth gilt, with illustrations in photogravure, 10/6 net each volume._ (_Volumes I. and II. are now ready._) No historian has ever succeeded in placing scenes and persons so vividly before the eyes of his readers as did the Duke de St. Simon. He was a born observer; his curiosity was insatiable; he had a keen insight into character; he knew everybody, and has a hundred anecdotes to relate of the men and women he describes. He had a singular knack of acquiring the confidential friendship of men in high office, from whom he learnt details of important state affairs. For a brief while he served as a soldier. Afterwards his life was passed at the Court of Louis XIV, where he won the affectionate intimacy of the Duke of Orleans and the Duke of Burgundy. St. Simon's famous Memoirs have recently been much neglected in England, owing to the mass of unnecessary detail overshadowing the marvellously fascinating chronicle beneath. In this edition, however, they have been carefully edited and should have an extraordinarily wide reception. BY THE WATERS OF GERMANY By Norma Lorimer, Author of "A Wife out of Egypt," etc. With a Preface by Douglas Sladen. _Demy 8vo, cloth gilt, with a coloured frontispiece and 16 other illustrations by_ Margaret Thomas _and_ Erna Michel, _12/6 net_. This fascinating travel-book describes the land of the Rhine and the Black Forest, at the present time so much the centre of public interest. The natural and architectural beauties of Germany are too supreme for even the sternest German-hater to deny; and this book describes them and the land around them well. But apart from the love-story which Miss Lorimer has weaved into the book, a particularly great interest attaches to her description of the home life of the men who, since she saw them, have deserved and received the condemnation of the whole civilized world. BY THE WATERS OF SICILY By Norma Lorimer, Author of "By the Waters of Germany," etc. _New and Cheaper Edition, reset from new type, Large Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, with a coloured frontispiece and 16 other illustrations, 6/-._
