The Autobiography of Edward,
LORD HERBERT OF CHERBURY.
WITH INTRODUCTION, NOTES, APPENDICES, AND A CONTINUATION OF THE LIFE.
By SYDNEY L. LEE, B.A., Balliol College, Oxford.
Notes and Queries.
"Lord Herbert's autobiography is an absolute masterpiece, worthy of
the place assigned it by Mr. Swinburne among the best one hundred
books. Quite fascinating are the records of adventure Lord Herbert
supplies, and the book, when once the preliminary statement of
pedigree, &c., is got over, will be read to the last line by every
reader of taste. A new lease of popularity is conferred upon it by
the handsome and scholarly reprint Mr. Lee has given to the world.
The volume itself belongs to the series of library reprints of
Mr. Nimmo, which are simply the most attractive of the day. Mr.
Lee, meanwhile, has executed in the most scrupulous, careful, and
competent manner the task of editing."

The Life of William Cavendish,
DUKE OF NEWCASTLE,
To which is added the TRUE RELATION OF MY BIRTH, BREEDING, AND LIFE.
By MARGARET, DUCHESS OF NEWCASTLE.
EDITED BY C. H. FIRTH, M.A.
Saturday Review.
"The book is, without doubt, a pleasant one. In the midst of the
stony-hearted Restoration, its naive enthusiasm, its quaint and
embroidered eloquence, its flavour of a bygone day, give it a curious
charm. It is like a Shirley flourishing on into the age of Shadwell
and Etherege."
The Scotsman.
"It has a distinct value as a contemporary picture of the life, modes
of thought, and habits of a great Royalist nobleman, who played a
prominent part in some of the most memorable episodes of English
history."

MEMOIRS OF THE LIFE OF COLONEL HUTCHINSON.
By his Widow, LUCY.
REVISED AND EDITED BY CHARLES H. FIRTH, M.A.
Athenæum.
"Is an excellent edition of a famous book. Mr. Firth presents
the 'Memoirs' with a modernised orthography and a revised scheme
of punctuation. He retains the notes of Julius Hutchinson, and
supplements them by annotations--corrective and explanatory--of his
own. Since their publication in 1805, the 'Memoirs' have been a kind
of classic. To say that this is the best and fullest edition of them
in existence is to say everything."
