A CATALOGUE OF 



THE VAN EYCKS AND THEIR ART. By 



W. H. James Weale, with the co-operation of Maurice 

 Brockwell. With numerous Illustrations. Demy 8vo.

4t% The large book on "Hubert and John Van Lyck'' which Mr. Weale 

 published in 1908 through Mr. John Lane was instantly recognised by the 

 reviewers and critics as an achievement of quite exceptional importance. It is 

 now felt that the time has come for a revised and slightly abridged edition of that 

 whicii was issued four years ago at ^5 5s. net. The text has been compressed in 

 some places and extended in others, while certain emendations have been made, 

 and aiter due reflection, the plan of the book has been materially recast. This 

 renders it of greater assistance to the student. 



The large amount of research work and methodical preparation of a revised 

 text obliged Mr. Weale, through failing health and eyesight, to avail himself of 

 the services of Mr. Brockwell, and Mr. Weale gives it as his opinion in the new 

 Foreword that he doubts whether he could have found a more able collaborator 

 than Mr. Brockwell to edit this volume. 



"The Van Eycks and their Art," so far from being a mere reprint at a popular 

 price of '• Hubert and John Van Eyck," contains several new features, notable 

 among which are the inclusion of an Appendix giving details of all the sales at 

 public auction in any country from i66a to 1912 of pictures reputed to be by the 

 Van Eycks. An entirely new and ample Index has been compiled, while the 

 bibliography, which extends over many pages, and the various component parts 

 of the book have been brought abreast of the most recent criticism. Detailed 

 arguments are given for the first time of a picture attributed to one of the brothers 

 Van Eyck in a private collection in Russia. 



In conclusion it must be pointed out that Mr. Weale has, with characteristic 

 care, read through the proofs and passed the whole book for press 



The use of a smaller /orwa/ and of thinner paper renders the present edition 

 easier to handle as a book of reference.

THE EMPRESS JOSEPHINE. By Joseph 



Turquan. Author of "The Love Affairs of Napoleon," 



"The Wife of General Bonaparte." Illustrated. Demy 8vo. 



I2S. 6d. net. 



^*^ "The Empress Josephine" continues and completes the graphically 

 drawn life story begun in " The Wife of General Bonaparte " by the same author, 

 takes us through the brilliant period of the Empire, shows us the gradual 

 development and the execution ot the Emperors plan to divorce his middle-aged 

 wife, paints in vivid colours the picture of Josephines existence after her divorce, 

 tells us how she, although now nothing but his friend, still met him occasionally 

 and corresponded frequently with him, and how she passed her time in the midst 

 of her minature court. This work enables us to realise the very genuine 

 affection which Napoleon possessed for his first wife, an affection which lasted 

 till death closed her eyes in her lonely hermitage at La Malmaison, and until he 

 went to expiate at Saint Helena his rashness in braving all Europe. CompKir- 

 atively little is known of the period covering Josephine's life after her divorce, 

 and yet M. Turquan has found much to tell u? that is very interesting; for the 

 ex-Empress in her two retreats, Navarre and La Malmaison, was visited by many 

 celebrated people, and after the Emperor's downfall was so ill-judged as to 

 welcome and fete several of the vanquished hero's late friends, now his declared 

 enemies. The story of her last illness and death forms one of the most interesting 

 chapters in this most complete work upon Ihe first Empress of the French.
