ITALIAN LITERATURE.
By RICHARD GARNETT, C. B., LL. D.,
Formerly Keeper of Printed Books in the British Museum.
“Finished and graceful, at once delicate and strong, and never relapses into prosiness.”—The Dial.
“Dr. Garnett is lucid in arrangement, agreeable and correct, and often powerful and felicitous in style. He has done a real service to both English and Italian literatures.”—Literature.
“The manual is a worthy companion of its predecessors, and will be found useful by each one who desires to refresh or enlarge his acquaintance with the magnificent achievements of Italian genius.”—Public Ledger, Philadelphia.
“A most interesting book, written from a full knowledge of the subject, but without pedantry. The style is simple, graceful, and readable; the erudition is easily discovered by those who seek for it, but it is not ostentatiously displayed. Scholars will appreciate it at its worth; the general reader will be grateful for the charity of the text, and for the labor that has made his path one of pleasure only.”—Saturday Evening Gazette.
A HISTORY OF BOHEMIAN LITERATURE.
By FRANCIS, COUNT LÜTZOW,
Author of “Bohemia: An Historical Sketch.”
“This book deals with an interesting subject in an able and impartial manner, and it is written in excellent English.”—London Morning Post.
“Count Lützow’s wide and deep knowledge and experience in matters Bohemian have particularly fitted him for the preparation of this work, and he has succeeded in producing a highly interesting as well as instructive exposition of a subject altogether unknown in western Europe, and hardly more familiar in America.”—Boston Beacon.
“Students of literature will value this work, because it offers some insight into the character, the extent, and the quality of Bohemian literature extant, and the general public will find most interest in the discussion of the life and death of Hus and the principal events of his career, the life and work of Komensky, the sketch of Dobrovsky, and the long account of the enthusiastic work of the four patriots to whom the revival of Bohemian literature in the present century is due—Jungmann, Kollar, Safarik, and Palacky.”—Boston Herald.
“Count Lützow’s volume is of special value and interest.”—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
