France -- Social life and customs -- Fiction; Short stories, French -- Translations into English
⁂ Mr. Sherrill has already achieved success with his two previous
books on the subject of stained glass. In Italy he finds a new field,
which offers considerable scope for his researches. His present work
will appeal not only to tourists, but to the craftsmen, because of the
writer’s sympathy with the craft. Mr. Sherrill is not only an
authority whose writing is clear in style and full of understanding
for the requirements of the reader, but one whose accuracy and
reliability are unquestionable. This is the most important book
published on the subject with which it deals, and readers will find it
worthy to occupy the position.
MEMORIES. By the Honble. STEPHEN COLERIDGE. With 12 Illustrations. Demy
8vo. 7s. 6d. net.
⁂ “Mr. Coleridge’s memories are very crisply and clearly written. He
makes a real addition to our knowledge of the essentially human
aspects of justly celebrated figures of the past. He was brought up
amid the society of many of the most cultivated men of the past
half-century. Among a host of notabilities of whom Mr. Coleridge
speaks are Lewis Morris, Browning, Jowett, Jenny Lind, Lord Leighton,
Ruskin, Watts, Whistler, and Irving. It was at Lord Coleridge’s house
that Cardinal Newman and Matthew Arnold first met.”—_Daily Telegraph._
