Daily Telegraph. — " Mr. Craig has set out to present him (Lord Chesterfield) as one of the 

 striking figures of a formative period in our modern history . . . and has succeeded in 

 giving us a very attractive biography of a remarkable man." 



Times. — " It is the chief point of Mr. Craig's book to show the sterling qualities which 

 Chesterfield was at too much pains in concealing, to reject the perishable trivialities of 

 his character, and to exhibit him as a philosophic statesman, not inferior to any of his 

 contemporaries, except Walpole at one end of his life, and Chatham at the other." 



Daily Graphic. — "Reparation was due to Lord Chesterfield's memory; and this book which 

 at last does him justice is a notable contribution to historical biography." 



Saturday Review. — "Mr. W. H. Craig's book is the first connected account of the public 

 life of Lord Chesterfield, and the most elaborate attempt to appreciate his value as a 

 serious statesman." 



Standard. — " Mr. Craig has written an interesting book." 



A QUEEN OF INDISCRETIONS. The Tragedy 



of Caroline of Brunswick, Queen of England. From the Italian 

 of G. P. Clerici. Translated by Frederic Chapman. With 

 numerous Illustrations reproduced from contemporary Portraits and 

 Prints. Demy 8vo. zis. net. 



The Daily Telegraph. — "It could scarcely be done more thoroughly or, on the whole, in 

 better taste than is here displayed by Professor Clerici. Mr Frederic Chapman himself 

 contributes an uncommonly interesting and well-informed introduction." 



IVestminster Gazette.—" The volume, scholarly and well-informed . . . forms one long and 

 absorbingly interesting chapter of the chronique scandaleuse of Court life . . . reads 

 like a romance, except that no romancer would care or dare to pack his pages so closely 

 with startling effects and fantastic scenes." 



The Times. — "Signor Clerici has brought to his task immense pains, lucidity, and an 

 impartiality of mind which does not prevent a definite view from emerging. Mr. Chap- 

 man has done the translation admirably well, and his own introduction is a careful 

 assistance to thoroughness." 



Academy. — "Caroline's life was an astounding romance, . . . Mr. Chapman especially 

 lends colour to her adventures in his clever introduction by the way in which he shows 

 how, for all her genius for mischief, and for all her tricks and wantonness, Caroline never 

 lost a curious charm which made her buoyancy and reckless spirit lovable to the last."

Dundee Advertiser. — " The picturesque, animated, and deeply interesting story of his career 

 is now open in a considerable volume entitled "Letters and Journals of Samuel Gridley 

 Howe during the Greek Revolution." This is helpfully edited by his daughter Laura 

 E. Richards, and has an introduction and notes by his old friend, F. B. Sanborn, besides 

 an illuminating preface by Mrs. John Lane . . . The journals are written with sincerity 

 and realism. They pulsate with the emotions of life amidst the difficulties, privations, 

 and horrors of the battle march, siege and defeat.'' 



Daily News. — " Dr. Howe's book is full of shrewd touches ; it seems to be very much a part 

 of the lively, handsome man of the portrait. His writing is striking and vivid ; it is the 

 writing of a shrewd, keen observer, intensely interested in the event before him. When- 

 ever his attention is arrested he writes with living force."
