*** Elizabeth Berkeley who was one of the roost beautiful, as well as the 
cleverest, wittiest and most versatile women of the age in which she flourished, 
while still a girl was given in marriage to the sixth Lord Craven. Between 1770 
and 1780 she was not only a persona grata at Court, but the friend of all the great 
political, literary and social personages of the period. Between 1780 and 1790 
came that period of wandering through Europe which enabled her to record 
personal experiences of Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, Frederick the Great, the 
Empress Catherine, the King and Queen of Naples, and other Royal and 
Illustrious personages. 
In 1791 she married the Margrave ol Anspach and Bayreuth. Returning to 
London she became at Brandenburgh House and Benham Valence, Newbury, the 
centre of a great social circle. A little later the Emperor Francis II, made her a 
Princess in her own right of the Holy Roman Empire. For a whole decade the 
theatricals and concerts at Brandenburgh House were the talk of the town. 
Some four years before her death she published her memoirs. Mr. Broadley and 
Mr. Melville have discovered many new facts, a large number of unpublished 
letters and MSS., which have enabled them to elaborate an historical introduction 
ol extraordinary and fascinating interest. The illustrations have been taken 
from existing portraits and from contemporary engravings in Mr. Broadley’s 
possession. 
IN PORTUGAL. By Aubrey F. G. Bell. 
Author of “ The Magic of Spain.” Demy 8vo. js. 6 d. net. 
*** The guide-books give full details of the marvellous convents, gorgeous 
palaces, and solemn temples of Portugal, and no attempt is here made to write 
complete descriptions of them, the very name of some of them being omitted. 
But the guide-books too often treat Portugal as a continuation, almost as a province 
of Spain. It is hoped that this little book may give some idea of the individual 
character of the country, of the quaintnesses of its cities, and of peasant life in 
its remoter districts. While the utterly opposed characters of the two peoples 
must probably render the divorce between Spain and Portugal eternal, and reduce 
hopes of union to the idle dreams of politicians. Portugal in itself contains an 
infinite variety. Each of the eight provinces (more especially those of the 
alemtejanos, minhotos and beirdes) preserves many peculiarities of language, 
customs, and dress ; and each will, in return for hardships endured, give to the 
traveller many a day of delight and interest.
