WILLOUGHBY (LADY)— A DIARY. 



Purporting to have been kept by LADY WILLOUGHBY of Parham, in the Reign of

 To give additional interest to the work, it has been printed and bound in the style of the 



period to which it refers. Small 4to. 18s. boards ; or in morocco, by Hayday, 21. 2s. 

 " The effect of the great civil war, as it spread over the face of the country, gradually 

 absorbing all domestic and personal interests and affections, and Jinally overshadowing the 

 whole framework of society, is strikingly illustrated in this remarkable work. But although 

 one of the most delightful books of its class in the language, it is less for the sake of the 

 historical hints to be derived from it that this Diary will attract attention, than on account 

 of the purity and spiritual beauty of the character it developes. As a picture of the in-door 

 existence of the wife of a Parliamentarian of rank, the volume is also new and curious. It 

 is both externally and internally characteristic of the subject and the period. It is printed 

 after the fashion of the seventeenth century, in small quarto, the type formally imprisoned 

 in the pages, and the whole bound in a rich antiquated style, in imitation of the old stuff' 

 printed in gold, with which missals and illuminated books used to be covered. It is a most 

 charming book for the drawing-room table. Above all, it ought to be read for its chastity 

 of heart by every woman in England.'' 1 — Court Journal.
