Kitty Alone: A Story of Three Fires (vol. 2 of 3)
Baring-Gould, S. (Sabine)
English fiction -- 19th century
A volume dealing with the French Riviera from Toulon to Mentone.
Without falling within the guide-book category, the book will supply
some useful practical information, while occupying itself chiefly
with descriptive and historical matter. A special feature will be
the attention directed to those portions of the Riviera, which,
though full of interest and easily accessible from many
well-frequented spots, are generally left unvisited by English
travellers, such as the Maures Mountains and the St. Tropez
district, the country lying between Cannes, Grasse and the Var, and
the magnificent valleys behind Nice. There will be several original
illustrations.
=George.= BRITISH BATTLES. By H. B. GEORGE, M.A., Fellow of New College,
Oxford. _With numerous Plans. Crown 8vo. 6s._
This book, by a well-known authority on military history, will be an
important contribution to the literature of the subject. All the great
battles of English history are fully described, connecting chapters
carefully treat of the changes wrought by new discoveries and
developments, and the healthy spirit of patriotism is nowhere absent
from the pages.
=Shedlock.= THE PIANOFORTE SONATA: Its Origin and Development. By J. S.
SHEDLOCK. _Crown 8vo. 5s._
This is a practical and not unduly technical account of the Sonata
treated historically. It contains several novel features, and an
account of various works little known to the English public.
=Jenks.= ENGLISH LOCAL GOVERNMENT. By E. JENKS, M.A., Professor of Law
at University College, Liverpool. _Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d._
A short account of Local Government, historical and explanatory, which
will appear very opportunely.
=Dixon.= A PRIMER OF TENNYSON. By W. M. DIXON, M. A., Professor of
English Literature at Mason College. _Fcap. 8vo. 1s. 6d._
This book consists of (1) a succinct but complete biography of Lord
Tennyson; (2) an account of the volumes published by him in
chronological order, dealing with the more important poems
separately; (3) a concise criticism of Tennyson in his various
aspects as lyrist, dramatist, and representative poet of his day;
(4) a bibliography. Such a complete book on such a subject, and at
such a moderate price, should find a host of readers.
=Oscar Browning.= THE AGE OF THE CONDOTTIERI: A Short History of Italy
from 1409 to 1530. By OSCAR BROWNING, M.A., Fellow of King’s
College, Cambridge. _Crown 8vo. 5s._
This book is a continuation of Mr. Browning’s ‘Guelphs and
Ghibellines,’ and the two works form a complete account of Italian
history from 1250 to 1530.
=Layard.= RELIGION IN BOYHOOD. Notes on the Religious Training of Boys.
With a Preface by J. R. ILLINGWORTH. by E. B. LAYARD, M.A. 18_mo._
1_s._
=Hutton.= THE VACCINATION QUESTION. A Letter to the Right Hon. H. H.
ASQUITH, M.P. by A. W. HUTTON, M.A. _Crown 8vo. 1s._
