_A GREAT LITERARY DISCOVERY_
JULIETTE DROUET'S LOVE-LETTERS TO VICTOR HUGO
Edited with a Biography of Juliette Drouet by Louis Guimbaud; translated by Lady Theodora Davidson. Demy 8vo, cloth gilt, with many illustrations, 10/6 net.
What is described as the most fascinating and notable human document seen for many years has recently been discovered in Paris by a distinguished French author, whose work has received the crown of the Academy. This writer, after ten years' patient work, has brought to light a collection of letters written by Juliette Drouet to Victor Hugo.
The story of Juliette's love for the great French novelist is one of the most romantic in history. Becoming devotedly attached to him when he first noticed her playing a humble part in "Lucrezia Borgia," she followed him in his exile to Brussels, Guernsey and Jersey, where she inspired some of his greatest poems. To console herself whenever he was absent, she wrote down "everything that came into her head, everything that caused her heart to beat." These are not ordinary love-letters, but "scribbles," as Juliette herself called them, thrown upon paper hour after hour, cast into a corner without being read over, and secured by the lover at each of his visits, as so many trophies of passion.
These letters were written so constantly that they number in all as many as 15,000, and of these a careful selection has been made for publication. M. Louis Guimbaud, who is responsible for the discovery of the letters, has added an extremely interesting biographical study of Juliette and her relations with Victor Hugo. The book, which is illustrated by a remarkable series of illustrations from the Victor Hugo Museum, contains many of the most tender and passionate love-letters ever written.
LIFE AND LETTERS IN THE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE
BY CHRISTOPHER HARE, author of "Men and Women of the Italian Reformation," etc.
_Demy 8vo, cloth gilt, illustrated, 12/6 net._
In this author's previous books on the Renaissance, he has told the story of Illustrious Ladies, of Emperors and Kings, Popes and Warriors, as makers of history in Italy and other lands. The present work is concerned with a finer and more enthralling subject: the lives of writers and thinkers as contrasted with the mere pomp and splendour of the time. The Poet, the Humanist, the Historian, the Diplomatist, and the Letter-writer, from Lorenzo the Magnificent to Machiavelli and Baldassare Castiglione, are treated in turn, in a bright, illuminating narrative.
THE LIFE AND TIMES OF QUEEN ADELAIDE
By MARY F. SANDARS, Author of "Princess and Queen of England," etc.
_Demy 8vo, cloth gilt, with many rare illustrations, 16/- net._
The wife of William IV. came as a foreigner to be Queen of England, and found herself surrounded by difficult and trying circumstances, both political and domestic. In dread of an impending revolution she exerted all her influence on the side of peace, and by this and the purity of her life and aims she earned the title of "Good Queen Adelaide."
THE MARTYR OF LOVE: THE LIFE OF LOUISE DE LA VALLIÈRE
By CLAUDE FERVAL, with an introduction by Jean Richepin; translated by Sidney Dark.
_Demy 8vo, cloth gilt, illustrated, 16/- net._
No more poignant account of the romance of Louise de la Vallière has ever been written than this by Claude Ferval, the well-known French romantic writer. In its always interesting setting of the gay, intriguing court at Fontainebleau, it tells in delightful, sympathetic language the story of the first mistress of Louis XIV. It is at once a vivid historical study and a passionate romance.
IMPERIAL AMERICA
By J. M. KENNEDY, Author of "Tory Democracy," etc.
_Demy 8vo, cloth gilt, illustrated, 12/6 net._
Thoughtfully and lucidly, Mr. J. M. Kennedy, who is a well-known authority on international affairs, describes the "imperialistic" attitude of the United States in their relation to the European Powers and especially to Great Britain. The history of the States is traced in this light, the objects of the Monroe Doctrine are explained, and a description is given of the working of the U.S.A. home politics. The book is essentially up-to-date in its assignment of the place of the United States in European controversies.
IRELAND: VITAL HOUR.
By ARTHUR LYNCH, M.P., Author of "Modern Authors: A Review and Forecast," "Approaches: The Poor Scholar's Quest of a Mecca," "Our Poets," "Human Documents," "Prince Azreel," "Psychology: A New System," "Purpose and Evolution," "Sonnets of the Banner and the Star," etc., etc.
_In Demy 8vo, cloth gilt, 10/6 net._
Here, at length, is a fearless and illuminating book, written with inside knowledge of Irish politics. The author has had opportunity given to few of possessing essential knowledge of Irish organisations. He writes, however, less as an historian than as an engineer. He has entered upon the work in that rare spirit of patriotism which seeks the weaknesses and the strength of the materials of which the Irish nation of the future must be built. He tests the materials remorselessly, cutting down beneath surface-show till he finds sound substance.
Animated as he is by hope for Ireland he discards flattery and flummery, and some of his criticisms of the existing state of affairs, particularly the influence of the clergy in politics, will produce a deep impression, and perhaps provoke fierce rejoinders. These remarks apply not to the priests only, but to their Orange confreres. His fervent desire is to see religious strife and bigotry eliminated from Irish public life.
On the whole the book is both conciliatory and unifying, and the true way of Ireland's concord with England is pointed out. While daringly thrusting his hand into the furnace of burning questions of the day, the author has written in an easy, discursive style, lightening the pages by humourous touches, after the manner of his "Human Documents," or by graphic personal descriptions of famous men--such as Parnell, Davitt and Synge--whom he has encountered in his career. He prefers to illustrate a point by anecdote rather than belabour it by an argument.
One of the chapters is in part Autobiographical; another chapter speaks of Parliament, with piquant notes of irony; a fresh and lively discussion of Irish Literature illustrates the author's characteristic style of uttering deep sayings in a light mood; whilst another chapter, dealing with the Irish in America, will be read with peculiar interest at the present time.
Altogether an original, bold, sincere, and, above all, upbuilding book.
MARCHING SONGS.
A pocket book for our soldiers.
_In cloth limp, 6d. net._
"A merry heart goes all the day--your sad tires in a mile-a." Every soldier knows that without the rousing song each mile grows longer and longer. The object of this little handbook of melody is to help our weary warriors on their way. Songs which they sang as boys, and still sing as men, are here collected--songs with stirring tunes, swinging choruses, and all in correct time for marching. There is nothing to learn; half the men in a Company would already know both the words and music of most, and the book is but a peg for the memory. To suit all, the tunes are given in the old, and in the tonic-sol-fa notation.
THE PRINCESS MATHILDE BONAPARTE
By PHILIP W. SERGEANT, Author of "The Last Empress of the French," etc.
_Demy 8vo, cloth gilt, fully illustrated, 16/- net._
Princess Mathilde Bonaparte, the niece of the great Emperor, died only ten years ago. She was the first serious passion of her cousin, the Emperor Napoleon III, and she might have been, if she had wished, Empress of the French. Instead, she preferred to rule for half a century over a _salon_ in Paris, where, although not without fault, she was known as "the good princess."
FROM JUNGLE TO ZOO
By ELLEN VELVIN, F.Z.S., Author of "Behind the Scenes with Wild Animals," etc.
_Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, with many remarkable photographs, 6/- net._
A fascinating record of the many adventures to which wild animals and their keepers are subject from the time the animals are captured until their final lodgment in Zoo or menagerie. The author has studied wild animals for sixteen years, and writes from personal knowledge. The book is full of exciting stories and good descriptions of the methods of capture, transportation and caging of savage animals, together with accounts of their tricks, training, and escapes from captivity.
THE ADMIRABLE PAINTER: A study of Leonardo da Vinci
By A. J. ANDERSON, Author of "The Romance of Fra Filippo Lippi," "His Magnificence," etc.
_Demy 8vo, cloth gilt, fully illustrated, 10/6 net._
In this book we find Leonardo da Vinci to have been no absorbed, religious painter, but a man closely allied to every movement of the brilliant age in which he lived. Leonardo jotted down his thoughts in his notebooks and elaborated them with his brush, in the modelling of clay, or in the planning of canals, earthworks and flying-machines. These notebooks form the groundwork of Mr. Anderson's fascinating study, which gives us a better understanding of Leonardo, the man, as well as the painter, than was possible before.
WOMEN OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ERA
By Lieut.-Col. ANDREW C. P. HAGGARD, D.S.O., Author of "Remarkable Women of France, 1431-1749," etc.
_Demy 8vo, cloth gilt, fully illustrated, 16/- net._
Lieut.-Col. Haggard has many times proved that history can be made as fascinating as fiction. Here he deals with the women whose more or less erratic careers influenced, by their love of display, the outbreak which culminated in the Reign of Terror. Most of them lived till after the beginning of the Revolution, and some, like Marie Antoinette, Théroigne de Méricourt and Madame Roland, were sucked down in the maelstrom which their own actions had intensified.
