GARIBALDI AT CAPRERA.
By COLONEL VECCHJ.
With Preface by Mrs. Gaskell, and a View of Caprera.
Fcp. 8vo. cloth, 3s. Cd.
'After all has been told, there was something wanting to the full and
true impression of the Patriot's character and mode of life; as every
one who reads this artless and enthusiastic narration will certainly
admit. Mrs. GASKELL says she knows that "every particular" of this full
and minute account may be relied upon; and it has an air of truth that
commends it even when it is most extravagant in its admiration.'
--NONCONFORMIST.
ROME IN 1860.
By EDWARD DICEY, author of 'Life of Cavour.' Crown 8vo. cloth, 6s. 6d.
'So striking and apparently so faithful a portrait. It is the Rome of
real life he has depicted.' --SPECTATOR.
THE ITALIAN WAR OF 1848-9,
And the last Italian Poet. By the late HENRY LUSHINGTON, Chief Secretary
to the Government of Malta. With a Biographical Preface by G. STOVIN
VENABLES. Crown 8vo. cloth, 6s. 6d.
'Perhaps the most difficult of all literary tasks--the task of giving
historical unity, dignity, and interest to events so recent as to be
still encumbered with all the details with which newspapers invest
them--has never been more successfully discharged ... Mr. Lushington, in
a very short compass, shows the true nature and sequence of the event,
and gives to the whole story of the struggle and defeat of Italy a
decree of unity and dramatic interest which not one newspaper reader in
ten thousand ever supposed it to possess.' --SATURDAY REVIEW.
EARLY EGYPTIAN HISTORY.
FOR THE YOUNG,
WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF THE TOMBS AND MONUMENTS.
By the Author of 'Sidney Grey,' &c. and her Sister.
SECOND EDITION. With Frontispiece. Fcp. 8vo. cloth, 5s.
'Full of information without being dull, and full of humour without
being frivolous; stating in the most popular form the main results of
modern research.... We have said enough to take our readers to the book
itself, where they will learn more of Ancient Egypt than in any other
popular work on the subject.' --LONDON REVIEW.
SECOND EDITION.
GEORGE BRIMLEY'S ESSAYS.

Cambridge. With Portrait. Crown 8vo. cloth, 5s.
