Hudson's Bay Company, with a portrayal of its powerful influ- 

 ence on the development of Canada. "The Beaver Club," the 

 second essay in the volume, is closely allied to the first, and con- 

 cerns a social club of Montreal the members of which were drawn 

 from the partners and factors of the Northwestern Fur Company, 

 for many years a rival of the Hudson's Bay Company. For 

 forty years this club dominated the commercial, political, and 

 social life of Canada. The concluding essay, "A Dream of Em- 

 pire," recounts with many fresh details the adventures of Tonty 

 in Old Louisiana. 



The Mississippi Valley Historical Review. The style is narrative and 

 picturesque, and the book as a whole is a valuable contribution to 

 our western history. 



London in English Literature. By Percy Holmes Boynton, Associate 



Professor of English Literature in the University of Chicago. 



xii-l-346 pages, 8vo, cloth; $2.00, postage extra (weight 2 lbs. 2 oz.) 



This volume differs from all other volumes on London in 

 that it gives a consecutive illustrated account of London, not from 

 the point of view of the antiquarian, but from that of the inquiring 

 student of English literary history. 



It deals with ten consecutive periods, characterized in turn 

 by the work and spirit of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Dryden, 

 Addison, Johnson, Lamb, Dickens, and by the qualities of Vic- 

 torian and contemporary London. The emphasis is thus dis- 

 tributed over history and given largely to the richer and more 

 recent literary periods. The temper of each epoch is discussed, 

 and then in particular those literary works which are intimately 

 related to certain localities in London. 



The work contains four maps and forty-three other illustra- 

 tions, selected from the best of a great fund of material. As 

 further aids to the student or the general reader, the sourcesof 

 all material are indicated by footnotes and lists of illustrative 

 reading are appended to each chapter. There are also an 

 appendix with detailed references to illustrative novels, and a 

 carefully compiled index. 



The Outlook (London). For the use of students of English history on its 



social side the book is of the highest possible value It has 



« values far transcending that of mere utility, and we do not think we 

 praise it too highly when we count it worthy to rank with the litera 



ture it has used so adroitly.
