MEMOIRS, BIOGRAPHIES, Etc. 13 

 THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF ROBERT 



Stephen Hawker, sometime Vicar of Morwenstow in Cornwall. 

 By C. E. Byles. With numerous Illustrations by J. Ley 

 Pethybridge and others. Demy Svo. ~s. 6d. net. (Popular 

 Edition.) 



Daily Telegraph. — " ... As soon as the volume is opened one finds oneself in the presence 

 of a real original, a man of ability, genius and eccentricity, of whom one cannot know 

 too much . . . No one will read this fascinating and charmingly produced book without 

 thanks to Mr. Byles and a desire to visit — or revisit — Morwenstow." 



Fall Mall Gazette. — "There is scarcely a page of this book that does not tingle with the 

 ruddy and exuberant vitality of one of the most living men of his day. Those who 

 want the portrait of Hawker the man, not the poet merely, or the eccentric, or the 

 "theologian" (if he can be said to have had a theology), must in future come to 

 Mr. Byles's work. ... It is Hawker the poet, in his life more poetic than in his 

 writings, that will live long in the memory of Cornwall and of England." 



THE LIFE OF WILLIAM BLAKE. BvAlexander 



Gilchrist. Edited with an Introduction by W.Graham Robertson. 

 Numerous Reproductions from Blake's most characteristic and 

 remarkable designs. Demy Svo. \cs.6d. net. New Edition. 



Birmingham Post. — "Nothing seems at all likely ever to supplant the Gilchrist biography. 



Mr. Swinburne praised it magnificently in his own eloquent essay on Blake, and there 



should be no need now to point out its entire sanity, understanding keenness of critical 



insight, and masterly literary style. Dealing with one of the most difficult of subjects, 



it ranks among the finest things of its kind that we possess." 

 Daily Mail. — " It would be difficult to name a more fascinating, artistic biography in the 



language." 

 Western Morning News, — " This hand--ome volume should direct attention anew to a man 



whose work merits remembrance." 

 Public Opinion.—" . . . The form in which this Life is now published calls for the warmest 



praise." 



MEMOIRS OF A ROYAL CHAPLAIN, 1729-63. 



The correspondence of Edmund Pyle, d.d., Domestic Chaplain to 

 George II, with Samuel Kerrich, d.d., Vicar of Dersingham, and 

 Rector of Wolferton and West Newton. Edited and Annotated 

 by Albert Hartshorne. With Portrait. Demy Svo. 16i.net. 



Truth. — " It is undoubtedly the most important book of the kind that has been published 

 in recent years, and is certain to disturb many readers whose minds have not travelled 

 with the time." 



Westminster Gazette.— " How the world went when George II was king, and what the 

 Church made of it, are matters revealed with a good deal of light in this entertaining 

 volume, edited and annotated by Mr. Hartshorne." _ _ 



Great Thoughts.— " The Pyle letters, though not so well known as other similar correspon- 

 dence of a public nature, are well worth the vast amount of labour and care bestowed 

 upon their publication."

By Richard Le Gallienne. With a Bibliography (much en- 

 larged) by John Lane. Portrait, etc. Crown Svo. 5/. net. Fifth 

 Edition. Revised. 



Punch.— "All Meredithians must possess 'George Meredith; Some Characteristics,' by 

 Richard Le Gallienne. This book is a complete and excellent guide to the novelist and 

 the novels, a sort of Meredithian Bradshaw, with pictures of the traffic superintendent 

 and the head office at Boxhill. Even Philistines may be won over by the blandishments 

 of Mr. Le Gallienne."
