 the fate of some of the individuals in whom we have been most interested by his 

 narrative.

 perhaps that which relates to the writer's adventures in Khaurism, and at the Court of 

 Khiva; but the present time imparts a peculiar interest to the sketches of llusaian 

 character and policy." — London Ecoiwmist. 



MRS R. K. VAN ALSTINE. 



Charlotte Corday, and her Life during the French Revolution. A 

 Biography. Crown 8vo, 5s. 

 **It is certainly strange that when history is ransacked for picturesque and 

 interesting subjects, no one has yet told in English — for so Miss van Alstine remarks, 

 and our own recollection supports her negatively— the romantic story of Charlotte 

 Corday. The author has carefully studied her authorities, and taken pains to distin- 

 guish fact from fiction, for fiction, it need hardly be said, has mixed itself plentifully 

 with the story of Charlotte Corday. Miss van Alstine has been able to add to this 

 story several genuine details that greatly heighten its effect. "~5i?(3cea(or.

" Though practice is of course essential, it is equally necessary that the practice
