Full of delightful sketches of men and things."--W. L. COURTNEY in _The Daily Telegraph_. "A work which adds many a fresh page to English, and one may say to European history....

The book is so bright and vivid that readers with the common dislike of history may venture on its pages unafraid."--ANDREW LANG in _Cosmopolis_. * * * * * SIR WALTER RALEGH Being Vol. I. of the series entitled "Builders of Greater Britain," each vol. with photogravure frontispiece and map. _Large crown 8vo., cloth, =5s.= each_.
