THE JOURNAL OF MRS. FENTON 



5n 5nMa an& tbe Colonies, 1826-1830. 



One volume^ octavo. 



Seventy-five years ago the writer of this journal married Captain 

 Campbell, and accompanied him to India. Within a year Captain 

 Campbell died, and his widow, after an interval, the greater part of 

 which was spent in Calcutta, became the wife of Captain Fenton. 

 Shortly afterwards Captain Fenton decided to quit the army and settle 

 in Tasmania, and with this object they left India and sailed to the 

 Mauritius. Here Mrs. Fenton spent several months, and a daughter 

 was born to her. She then followed her husband to Tasmania, where 

 they settled permanently. Such in dry outline is the story of this 

 journal. It chronicles no great events, but the writer has the true 

 Boswellian turn for vivid presentation of everyday scenes and incidents, 

 for artless portraiture, and naive self-revelation. She has a keen eye for 

 scenery, but is more interested in persons than things. In her wander- 

 ings she is thrown in contact with many, and expresses a decided 

 opinion on the merits and demerits of most of them. Altogether it is a 

 lively glimpse into ordinary life under many skies in the time of our 

 great-grandparents. The gossip of 1827 is history in 1900.

A SHORT STORY OF THE FOUNDER OF THE BROTHERS MINOR. 

 By JAMES ADDERLEY, 



Author of 'Stephen Remarx," 'Paul Mercer,' etc. 



Elegantly bound, with a photogravure Frontispiece, crown 8w., 3^'. dd. 



The author's object in compiling this sketch of Francis of Assisi is to 

 provide a small life of the saint for those who for any reason are unable 

 to indulge in the purchase of the larger biographies. It is largely based 

 upon the ' Life of S. Francis ' by M. Paul Sabatier, who has kindly 

 written an Introduction to Father Adderley's volume. The scope of the 

 book maybe judged from the following outline of contents: — I. The 

 Religious Life. II. The Times of Francis. III. Early Days and Con- 

 version. IV. The Beginnings of Ministry. V. Progress. VI. Portiun- 

 cula. VII. The General Chapters. VIII. Opposition to the Mind of 

 Francis. IX. The Clarisses and the ' Third Order.' X. The Stigmata. 

 XI. The Last Years. Appendices on the Friars in England and the 

 Rule of St. Francis. The frontispiece is a photogravure reproduction 

 of a beautiful allegorical picture of S. Francis by Sister Katharine Ruth.
