This has a great fascination for young people, dealing as it does with Lady Jane Grey, Edward Courtenay, and the terrible plotter Simon. =428. Robin Tremayne.= By E. S. HOLT. (Shaw) 5_s._ =429. Isoult Barry.= By E. S. HOLT. (Shaw) 5_s._ =430. For the Master’s Sake.= By E. S. HOLT. (Shaw) 2_s._ 6_d._ All three pursuing the fortunes of the same family. On the Marian persecution in its worst light. =431. Her Majesty’s Bear.= By Mrs. MITCHELL. (Masters) 5_s._ Very amusing and prettily told adventures at Dover in Queen Elizabeth’s time, lacking in probability and details of manner, but still a charming children’s book. =432. The Good Old Days.= By ESMÉ STUART. (Marcus Ward) 5_s._ Life in Elizabethan times, beautifully illustrated by Mr. H. Stacy Marks. =433. Kenilworth.= By Sir WALTER SCOTT. A noble romance founded on tradition and ballad. Though historic doubts question the truth of the legend, and Scott has, for the sake of effect, altered the circumstances, nothing gives so vivid an impression of the times of Queen Elizabeth. =434. The Abbot.= By Sir WALTER SCOTT. Should be read for the sake of the escape of Queen Mary from Lochleven. =435. Unknown to History.= By C. M. YONGE. (Macmillan) 6_s._ Mary of Scotland in captivity. =436. Westward Ho!= By CHARLES KINGSLEY. (Macmillan) 6_s._ One of the most powerful historical romances in existence. =437. Clare Avery.= By E. S. HOLT. (Shaw) 5_s._ Also on the Armada, with more hints on Romish perils than are quite needful. =438. Lamb’s Tales from Shakespeare.= These are the best stepping-stones to Shakespeare himself. =439. The Cruise of the ‘Bonny Kate.’= (Hayes) 3_s._ 6_d._ Telling well of Chancellor’s voyage to Russia. =440. For Queen and King.= By HENRY FRITH (Cassell) 5_s._ Essex’s rebellion and the Gunpowder Plot. It is rather wooden and devoid of character, and very hard upon Garnett. =441. The Fortunes of Nigel.= By Sir WALTER SCOTT. A somewhat painful picture of the Court and manners of James I. =442. Lady Betty’s Governess.= By L. E. GUERNSEY. (Shaw) 5_s._ The story is pretty, but the ideas of the Laudian theology are very peculiar. Bishop Hall is quite incorrectly represented as at enmity with Laud. =443. The Siege of Lichfield.= By Rev. W. GRESLEY. (Masters) 3_s._ One of the earliest of Church tales. A little heavy, perhaps, but full of interest. =444. Mary Powell.= By ANNE MANNING. (Hall) 2_s._ 6_d._ The supposed diary of Milton’s first wife. Written with great sweetness and interest. =445. Judged by Appearances.= By ELEANOR LLOYD. (London Literary Society) 6_s._ There is much reality, much character, much fairness and clearness of insight in this very worthy story of the Great Rebellion. =446. The Legend of Montrose.= By Sir WALTER SCOTT. A brilliant fragment of the career of the great Marquess. =447. Journal of Lady Beatrix Graham.= (Bell) 5_s._
