THE JOURNAL OF MRS. FENTON 



3n Snoia ano tbe Colonies, 1826-1830. 



One volume, octavo, Ss. 6d. net. 



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 1901. 



MEMORIES OF THE MONTHS 



(FIRST SERIES). 



By the RIGHT HON. SIR HERBERT MAXWELL, BART., M.P. 

 A new edition, large crown 81*0., with additional plates, is. 6d. 



The demand for this volume (which has been out of print for some 

 years) has been so persistent that a new edition has been prepared, in 

 deference to the wishes of many readers of the Second Series (issued in 

 1900), who were desirous of purchasing the First. Advantage has been 

 taken of the necessity of resetting the type to give the volume a more 

 handsome appearance, and to make it uniform with the Second Series. 

 Two additional plates have been included, making seven in all.
