A carefully written tale on the Yorkist side.
=417. The Last of the Barons.= By Lord LYTTON. (Warne) 6_d._ (Routledge)

This is real literature and almost worthy to stand beside Scott.
=418. The Earl Printer.= By C. MACSORLEY. (Shaw) 2_s._ 6_d._
A young Lancastrian working as a printer under Caxton. Good.
=419. Malvern Chase.= (Simpkin, Marshall, & Co.) 5_s._

with the Severn country, showing much local knowledge and research.

Though poems, neither of these should be left out from the course.
=426. The Prince and the Pauper.= By MARK TWAIN. (Chatto & Windus) 7_s._
6_d._
This most diverting book, exchanging Edward VI. for a little street boy,
has one grievous flaw—it marries a man to his sister-in-law, but only in
the last two pages, and with so little preparation that the passage might
be extirpated without anyone missing them.
=427. The Tower of London.= By W. HARRISON AINSWORTH. (Routledge) 1_s._,
2_s._ and 3_s._ 6_d._
