********
UNIFORM WITH THIS VOLUME.
PARIS.
Painted by MORTIMER MENPES, R.I. Text by DOROTHY MENPES.
Containing 24 full-page illustrations in colour, and numerous line illustrations in the text. Large crown 8vo., cloth, gilt top. Price 6s. net.
JAMAICA.
Painted by A. S. FORREST. Described by JOHN HENDERSON.
Containing 24 full-page illustrations in colour. Large crown 8vo., cloth, gilt top. Price 6s. net.
The text and illustrations of this volume are reprinted from "The West Indies" which was published a little over a year ago, in the 20s. net series of "Black's Beautiful Books," and is now out of print.
THE UPPER ENGADINE.
Painted by J. HARDWICKE LEWIS. Described by S. C. MUSSON.
Containing 24 full-page illustrations in colour and a sketch map. Large crown 8vo., cloth, gilt top. Price 6s. net.
Perhaps the best way to convey some idea of the Engadine to the untravelled Britisher is to describe it as a lofty valley sixty miles in length with a mean altitude as high as Ben Nevis. As may be imagined, the air at this height is most bracing, and the mountain scenery sublime in the extreme. Picturesque villages and lakes dot the valley, and an almost level road runs through its entire length.
Mr. J. Hardwicke Lewis, in his water-colour sketches which are reproduced in this volume, gives us many delightful glimpses of its beautiful scenery. In some we see the valley clothed in its rich summer glory, in others it has donned its winter mantle of snow, and always overlooking it are the solitary mountain-tops where snow and ice are eternal.
Mr. Musson in the text of the book describes the varied scenery of the region, and the chief resorts of the cosmopolitan crowd that gathers there, with incidental notices of its peculiar geology and flora, and a short sketch of its chequered history.
NORTH DEVON.
Painted by HENRY B. WIMBUSH. Described by F. J. SNELL.
Containing 26 full-page illustrations in colour. Large crown 8vo., cloth, gilt top. Price 6s. net.
"Mr. Wimbush has given us twenty-six glimpses of North Devon which are gems.... Mr. Snell has endeavoured to avoid the guide-book style in his descriptive matter, and has succeeded."—Daily News.
SOUTH DEVON.
Painted by C. E. HANNAFORD. Described by CHARLES ROWE, M.J.I.
Containing 24 full-page illustrations in colour. Large crown 8vo., cloth, gilt top. Price 6s. net.
This book deals with an area abounding in places of historical interest, and it has a pictorial quality quite distinct from that of the northern portion of the shire, which already forms the subject of a companion volume in the same series.
LIVERPOOL.
Painted by J. HAMILTON HAY. Described by WALTER SCOTT.
Containing 24 full-page illustrations in colour. Large crown 8vo., cloth, gilt top. Price 6s. net.
This book is published in the year of the 700th anniversary of Liverpool's first charter, but it aims at being something more than a mere historical outline of the city's growth. For modern Liverpool is almost entirely a product of the nineteenth century, and Mr. Scott has therefore regarded it as his duty, less to offer a réchauffé of the facts relating to her development in the past, than to endeavour to mirror in words the vital aspect which she presents to the world to-day.
The twenty-four water-colours reproduced in facsimile in the volume were specially painted for the book by Mr. Hay. They are an effective series of pictures in sympathy with the text they illustrate, and thoroughly typical of the great city they represent.
IRELAND.
Painted by FRANCIS S. WALKER, R.H.A. Described by FRANK MATHEW.
Containing 32 full-page illustrations in colour. Large crown 8vo., cloth, gilt top. Price 6s. net.
The text and illustrations of this volume are taken from "Ireland," in the 20s series of "Black's Beautiful Books."
"In the series of 'Coloured Books' which Messrs. A. and C. Black have published few have the distinction of that on 'Ireland,' a new and cheaper edition of which has now been issued.... Mr. Frank Mathew is responsible for the letterpress, and it is a pleasure to come across work so careful, so well informed, and so admirable in style.... The pictures in this volume are by Mr. Francis S. Walker. We dealt with them when the book appeared in its larger size, and it only remains to be said now that they are interesting and sympathetic."—Manchester Courier.
