THE EGYPTIAN CAMPAIGNS, 1882 TO 1885, AND THE EVENTS WHICH LED
TO THEM. By CHARLES ROYLE, Barrister-at-Law, of ALEXANDRIA. 2
vols. demy 8vo. Illustrated by Maps and Plans. 30s.
“Mr. Royle has done well in the interests of historical completeness
to describe not only the entire military drama, but also the political
events connected with it, and whoever reads the book with care has
gone a considerable way towards mastering the difficult Egyptian
question.”--_Athenæum._
“The Egyptian fiasco has found in Mr. Royle a most painstaking,
accurate, and judicious historian. From a literary point of view his
volumes may be thought to contain too many unimportant incidents, yet
their presence was necessary perhaps, in a complete record, and the
most fastidious reader will unhesitatingly acquit Mr. Royle of filling
his pages with anything that can be called padding.”--_St. James’s
Gazette._
THE PALACE AND THE HOSPITAL; or, CHRONICLES OF GREENWICH. By
the REV. A. G. L’ESTRANGE, Author of ‘The Village of Palaces,’
‘The Friendships of Mary Russell Mitford,’ &c. 2 vols. crown
8vo. With Illustrations. 21s.
“Mr. L’Estrange has provided for those who have a taste for topography,
or rather for the historical and biographical annals of a locality
famous in history, two volumes which are rich in romantic interest,
and his pages abound in curious and interesting glimpses of old
manners.”--_Daily News._
THE REAL SHELLEY: NEW VIEWS OF THE POET’S LIFE. By JOHN CORDY
JEAFFRESON, Author of “The Real Lord Byron,” “A Book about
Doctors,” “A Book about Lawyers,” &c. 2 vols. demy 8vo. 30s.
“Those who have read Mr. Jeaffreson’s account of Byron will be
prepared to find that impartiality is the distinguishing feature of
his endeavour to clear away the fancies and misconceptions which have
been given to the world in some of the biographies of Shelley, and they
will not be disappointed. The author has striven to ascertain, fairly
and fully, the truth concerning a poet whose influence, while it has
been greatly exaggerated by his most enthusiastic admirers, is still a
living factor in the life of many.”--_Morning Post._
THE FRIENDSHIPS OF MARY RUSSELL MITFORD: AS RECORDED IN LETTERS
FROM HER LITERARY CORRESPONDENTS. Edited by the REV. A. G.
L’ESTRANGE, Editor of “The Life of Mary Russell Mitford,” &c. 2
vols. 21s.
“These letters are all written as to one whom the writers love and
revere. Miss Barrett is one of Miss Mitford’s correspondents, all of
whom seem to be inspired with a sense of excellence in the mind they
are invoking. Their letters are extremely interesting, and they strike
out recollections, opinions, criticisms, which will hold the reader’s
delighted and serious attention.”--_Daily Telegraph._
THE BRONTË FAMILY, With Special Reference to PATRICK BRANWELL
BRONTE. By FRANCIS A. LEYLAND. 2 vols. 21s.
