A CHRISTIAN WOMAN; Being the Life of MADAME JULES MALLET, _née_
OBERKAMPF. By MADAME DE WITT, _née_ GUIZOT. Translated by Mrs.
H. N. GOODHART. With a Preface by the Author of “JOHN HALIFAX.”
Foolscap 8vo. 5s.
“A work of great interest, and full of noble inspiration.”--_Brit.
Quarterly Review._
“The story of the life and labour of the good woman here commemorated
has much to interest readers on both sides of the Channel.”--_John
Bull._
PLAIN SPEAKING. By Author of “John Halifax, Gentleman.” 1 vol.
crown 8vo. 10s. 6d.
“We recommend ‘Plain Speaking’ to all who like amusing, wholesome, and
instructive reading. The contents of Mrs. Craik’s volume are of the
most multifarious kind, but all the papers are good and readable, and
one at least of them of real importance.”--_St. James’s Gazette._
COURT LIFE BELOW STAIRS; or, LONDON UNDER THE FIRST GEORGES,
1714–1760. By J. FITZGERALD MOLLOY. _Second Edition._ 2 vols.
crown 8vo. 21s.
“If the two volumes which Mr. Molloy has given to the world have no
great claim to originality, it may at least be said of them that
they recall scenes and anecdotes which will long continue to amuse
those who read only for amusement. Mr. Molloy has a certain power of
description which to the taste of many readers will be more telling
than either style or wit. We may mention as a specimen the description
of the Drawing-Room at St. James’s, which is written in a very graphic
and vivacious manner, and contains many good stories about lords and
ladies which are neatly and effectively put together.”--_St. James’s
Gazette._
“In these volumes there is a good deal of that kind of information
which is valued by readers of society journals. Mr. Molloy produces
some curious anecdotes which have not before appeared in print, and he
is always lively.”--_Pall Mall._
WITH THE CONNAUGHT RANGERS IN QUARTERS, CAMP, AND ON LEAVE. By
GENERAL E. H. MAXWELL, C.B., Author of “Griffin, Ahoy!” 1 vol.
demy 8vo. With Illustrations. 15s.
ROYAL WINDSOR. By W. HEPWORTH DIXON. _Second Edition._ Volumes
I. and II. Demy 8vo. 30s.
“‘Royal Windsor’ follows in the same lines as ‘Her Majesty’s Tower,’
and aims at weaving a series of popular sketches of striking events
which centre round Windsor Castle. Mr. Dixon makes everything vivid
and picturesque. Those who liked ‘Her Majesty’s Tower’ will find these
volumes equally pleasant.”--_Athenæum._
“A truly fine and interesting book. It is a valuable contribution
to English history; worthy of Mr. Dixon’s fame, worthy of its grand
subject.”--_Morning Post._
“Mr. Dixon has supplied us with a highly entertaining book. ‘Royal
Windsor’ is eminently a popular work, bristling with anecdotes and
amusing sketches of historical characters.”--_Examiner._
