NEW YORKSHIRE BOOKS 
THE GENTLEMEN GO BY 
A Tale of Smuggling Days on the North Yorkshire Coast. By 
Elizabeth Barnard Black. 220 pages, crown 8vo, with illustra- 
tions and map, bound in cloth boards, covered with an attractive 
picture wrapper. 3/6 net, or post-free 4/-. 
A local story, full to the brim of the characteristics of Yorkshire 
folk, their wit, their capacity for driving a hard bargain, their 
love of the moors and sea and (for the time is a hundred years ago) 
their passionate love of smuggling. The characters are in keeping 
with the wild and often lonely, yet perennially beautiful, nature 
of the locality. Happy love and terrible tragedy are intermingled, 
the whole being relieved by humorous incidents, some of which 
take place at Pickering, and charming farmhouse idylls between 
the heather and the sea, in and around Staintondale. 
THE PENROSES OF FLEDBOROUGH 
PARSONAGE 
By Rev. A. B. Baldwin, Rector of Holmpton, E. Yorkshire. 
Profusely illustrated, 7/6 net, post-free, 8/6. 
The Daily Mail , Hull, says : “ People who love to read about 
old family life will like to know of this charming book. Inter- 
woven with the Penroses’ story one meets with many delightful 
people whose names are still familiar to us. Matthew Arnold, 
grandson of the Rev. John Penrose, writing to his mother at Fox 
How, said : ‘ I looked affectionately in the bright morning sun 
towards Fledborough,’ and that his recollections of it were ‘ the 
only approach he had to the memory of a golden age/ 
Reading this book of times when speed was not the god it is 
to-day gives a restful feeling. There are many charming letters 
from all kinds of people and many attractive illustrations.”
