=388. Lady Sybil’s Choice.= By EMILY S. HOLT. (Shaw) 5_s._ Miss Holt’s tales will be enumerated in their order of chronology, but the following description must be understood to apply to all. Manners and customs, history and chronicle, are minutely studied; but the mediæval Church is never understood, and sympathy is uniformly with those who separated from it. What is especially to be regretted is that there are often innuendoes and even more direct attacks on present practices and opinions, which the author thinks a return to what she reprobates. =389. The Knight’s Ransom.= By Mrs. VALENTINE. (Warne) 2_s._ 6_d_. Greatly relished by young people. It is founded on the legend of the lady whose hand was the ransom of her crusading knight. =390. The Betrothed.= By Sir WALTER SCOTT. Belonging to the higher order of literature. Bringing out the state of things on the Welsh border under Henry II., not accurately but impressively. =391. The Talisman.= By Sir WALTER SCOTT. Scott’s novels may be had at any price from 6_d._ upwards. It is of no use to specify publisher. The master hand has lighted up the relations between Cœur-de-Lion and Saladin. There is no need to touch on the inaccuracies where the scene is made so real. =392. Ivanhoe.= By Sir WALTER SCOTT. The same may be said of this romance of the return of Cœur-de-Lion. =393. Philip Augustus.= By G. P. R. JAMES. (Warne) 6_d._ Vividly giving the relations of King John with the astute Frenchman. =394. Earl Hubert’s Daughter.= By E. S. HOLT. (Shaw) 5_s._ The reign of Henry III., with a curious picture of Jewish life in England. =395. The Prince and the Page.= By C. M. YONGE. (Macmillan) 4_s._ 6_d._ The prince is Edward I., the page a son of Simon de Montfort. =396. Prentice Hugh.= By F. M. PEARD. (National Society) 3_s._ 6_d._ Burgher and apprentice life under Edward I., chiefly concerned with the carvings of the corbels in Exeter Cathedral; fit to raise the sense of responsibility in such work. =397. The Lord of the Isles.= By Sir WALTER SCOTT. The rise of Bruce and battle of Bannockburn had best be illustrated by this grand tale in poetry. =398. Castle Dangerous.= By Sir WALTER SCOTT. The perilous castle of Douglas. =399. In All Time of Our Tribulation.= By E. S. HOLT. (Shaw) The times of Edward II., whose two favourites are well painted. =400. Not for Him.= By E. S. HOLT. (Shaw) 5_s._ On the Earl of Lancaster and the Order of Poor Brothers. =401. The Well in the Desert.= By E. S. HOLT. (Shaw) 2_s._ 6_d._ The persecuted daughter of Hugh Le Despenser. =402. Golden Horse-shoes.= By Mrs. MITCHELL. (Masters) 5_s._ Founded on the golden horse-shoes in the Guildhall at Oakham. Spirited and interesting to children, though the chivalry is rather fanciful than real. =403. The Lances of Lynwood.= By C. M. YONGE. (Macmillan) 4_s._ 6_d._ Gives the doings of the Black Prince in Spain and at Bordeaux. =404. Tales from Chaucer.= (Nelson) 3_s._ and 3_s._ 6_d._
