The Memoirs of Dr. Thomas W. Evans (Court 



Dentist). RECOLLECTIONS OF THE SECOND FRENCH EMPIRE 

 Edited by EDWARD A. CRANE, M.D. Illustrated. Demy 8vo, cloth. 



Dr. Evans, the most celebrated of Court Dentists, gives in this work his reminiscences 

 of the chief persons and events of the Second Empire. His acquaintance with Louis 

 Napoleon was intimate, and he gives here an impression of the Emperor that was the 

 resultlof close personal observation extending over a series of years during which he had 

 opportunities of seeing him in all manner of circumstances. When, after Sedan, 

 the Empress Eugenie fled from the Tuileries, it was in Dr. Evans's house that she 

 sought refuge, and five thrilling chapters are devoted to the description of the secret 

 flight of the Empress to England in Dr. Evans's charge. Dr. Evans's view of the 

 character of Louis Napoleon is very different from the conventional one, and may be 

 regarded in the light of a revelation. These absorbing pages are crowded with vignettes, 

 sketched at first hand, of persons most of whose names have become historical, and it 

 may be surmised that the work will not merely make a sensation when published, but 

 will eventually take high rank among volumes of memoirs. 



The Manors of Suffolk. Notes on their History and 

 Devolution and their Several Lords. The Hundreds 

 of Babergh and Blackbourn. By w. A. COPINGER, LL.D., 

 F.S.A.. F.R.S.A. Illustrated. Cloth. Folio. 



While collecting particulars respecting the MS. and other records relating to the 

 County of Suffolk, with the object of preparing a Record History, the compiler came 

 across much information of an interesting character relating to the Manors and their 

 lords, and it has been thought that a work on these might not prove unacceptable. 



The history of each Manor will usually start with the Domesday entry, and- many of the 

 Manors have been traced down, practically without a break, to the present day. 



An endeavour has been made to render the book as popular as was possible consistently 

 with historical accuracy and permanent value. Views will be given of several of the old 

 Manor houses, and the volume will be one which, while supplying the needs of the 

 historian, will at the same time satisfy the requirements of the book lover, the artist, anc 

 those of the general public who still happily take^ ntejdtjt in local history, and are 

 desirous of retaining and recording traditional detans -which in many cases are constantly 

 passing beyond recall.
