DR. DORAN’S POPULAR WORKS.
MONARCHS RETIRED FROM BUSINESS.
Second Edition, 2 Vols., with Illustrations, 21s.
“Emphatically a book that will please all classes.”—Gentleman’s Magazine.
LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND UNDER THE HOUSE OF HANOVER.
2 Vols., post 8vo, New Edition, with Portraits, 21s.
“Indicates the wealth and variety of the Author’s collections, and the electric readiness with which they are put to use.”—Athenæum.
KNIGHTS AND THEIR DAYS.
Second Thousand, post 8vo, 10s. 6d.
“Satirical, anecdotical, quizzical—full of most wise conceits and ridiculous stories—a book of knights of the stage and knights of the thimble—of mock knights and smock knights—of royal knights and knights of the road,—it is very laughable and very provoking. There is only one word to be said about it—read it.”—Athenæum.
HABITS AND MEN;
WITH REMNANTS OF RECORDS TOUCHING THE MAKERS OF BOTH.
Third Edition, post 8vo, 7s. 6d.
“Never was a book written more after the model of an after-dinner conversation, where the feast has been partaken by three or four gentlemen full of anecdote. That such a book is easy reading follows from its very nature. Nearly every page contains something amusing. Dr. Doran’s book is not only amusing, but full of strange information that every one would like to possess. It is the note-book of an intelligent, educated, and studious man, enabling the reader by skimming over pages to obtain, almost without a thought, an amount of knowledge for which the author has ransacked libraries.”—Times.
TABLE TRAITS AND SOMETHING ON THEM.
Second Edition, crown 8vo, 6s.
“It is rare to meet with a volume so well worth reading as this. The subject includes almost everything connected with the pleasures of the table. Dr. Doran is a man of very wide reading, of very agreeable wit, and very refined scholarship. Of anecdotes, both collected from his reading, and picked up in many a lively chat between the courses, or over the walnuts and the wine, he has a wonderful store.”—Manchester Times.
