MEMOIRS OF A VANISHED GENERATION 



1 8 13-1855. Edited by Mrs. Warrenne Blake. With numerous 

 Illustrations. Demy 8vo. \6s. net. 



*»* This -work is compiled from diaries and letters dating frojn the time of the Regency 

 to the middle of the nineteenth century. The "ualue of the tvork lies in its natural un- 

 embellished picture of the life of a cultured and •well-born fatnily in a foreign environment 

 at a period so close to our own that it is far less familiar than periods much more remote. 

 There is an atmosphere of Jane Austen's novels about the lives of Admi}-al Knox and his 

 fatnily, and a large number of tvell-known contemporaries are introduced into Mrs. Blake's 

 pages. 



THE LIFE OF PETER ILICH TCHAIKOVSKY 



(1840-1893). By his Brother, Modeste Tchaikovsky. Edited 

 and abridged from the Russian and German Editions by Rosa 

 Newmarch. With Numerous Illustrations and Facsimiles and an 

 Introduction by the Editor. Demy 8vo. jj. dd. net. Second 

 edition. 



The Times. — " A most illuminating commentary on Tchaikovsky's music." 

 World. — "One of the most fascinating self-revelations by an artist which has been given to 

 the world. The translation is excellent, and worth reading for its own sake." 



Contemporary Review. — " The book's appeal is, of course, primarily to the rausic-lover ; but 

 there is so much of fauman and literary interest in it, such intimate revelation of a 

 singularly interesting personality, that many who have never come under the spell of 

 the Pathetic Symphony will be strongly attracted by what is virtually the spiritual 

 autobiography of its composer. High praise is due to the translator and editor for the 

 literary skill with which she has prepared the English version of this fascinating work . . . 

 There have been few collections of letters published within recent years that give so 

 vivid a portrait of the writer as that presented to us in these pages."
