They will bring within the reach of everybody who buys books at all a number of curious works that hitherto have been accessible only to scholars.”—_Literary World._ “In the ‘Dryden House Memoirs,’ inaugurated by this reprint of Mrs Lucy Hutchinson’s Life of her husband, we are promised a most interesting series.”—_Liverpool Mercury._ =1. MEMOIRS OF THE LIFE OF COLONEL HUTCHINSON.= Written by his Widow, LUCY (1615-1664). “Messrs Kegan Paul are to be thanked for their attractive reprint of a book, the value of which, as Mr H. Child says in his introduction, ‘lies in the splendid devotion that illuminates a vivid picture of the life of those distracted times, presented by one who had a fine command of language and more than her share of a keen and rather wicked woman’s wit.’”—_Yorkshire Post._ “Lovers of biography will welcome this admirable reprint of a book already so widely known and appreciated. We have nothing but praise for the binding and general ‘get up’ of the volume.”—_Academy._ =2. MEMOIRS AND TRAVELS OF SIR JOHN RERESBY, Bart.= (1634-1689). “The second volume in this well-printed and substantial series of reprints is Sir John Reresby’s Travels and Memoirs. This picture of the Continent during the Commonwealth, and narrative of events in the reign of the last Stewart kings, are not too well known, and the addition of the book to this series is a thing we are thankful for.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._ “They are intelligent, clear, and homely in their manner of writing. Reresby was a man who saw a great deal, and he ought to have been more used by historians. His sketch of Cromwell is inimitable. Who ever suspected that ‘tears he had at will’? For instance, an intelligent reader can find out from Reresby why Charles II. was over-whelmed with grief at the death of his Queen, and yet was not at all a model husband in point of kindness. This volume, which is the second of the ‘Dryden House Memoirs,’ is very clearly printed, and the illustrations are admirable.”—_Morning Post._ =3. HISTORICAL MEMOIRS OF MY OWN TIME (1772-1784).= By Sir NATHANIEL WILLIAM WRAXALL, Bart. “Some of the best qualities of the historian and the memoir writer are happily blended in Sir Nathaniel Wraxall, whose Historical Memoirs forms the new volume of the excellent ‘Dryden House Memoirs.’ It were superfluous to say anything at this date in praise of this valuable and absorbing work. It is edited by Mr Askham, whose ‘Introduction’ is efficient, whose annotation is all that notes should be.”—_Westminster Gazette._
