Square 8vo, cloth extra, with numerous Illustrations, 9s.
North Italian Folk.
By Mrs. Comyns Carr. With Illustrations by Randolph Caldecott.
“A delightful book, of a kind which is far too rare. If anyone wants to really know the North Italian folk, we can honestly advise him to omit the journey, and sit down to read Mrs. Carr’s pages instead.... Description with Mrs. Carr is a real gift.... It is rarely that a book is so happily illustrated.”—Contemporary Review.
MOORE’S HITHERTO UNCOLLECTED WRITINGS.
Crown 8vo, cloth extra, with Frontispiece, 9s.
Prose and Verse—Humorous, Satirical, and Sentimental—by THOMAS MOORE.
Including Suppressed Passages from the Memoirs of Lord Byron. Chiefly from the Author’s MSS., and all hitherto Inedited and Uncollected. Edited, with Notes, by Richard Herne Shepherd.
“Hitherto Thomas Moore has been mostly regarded as one of the lighter writers merely—a sentimental poet par excellence, in whom the ‘rapture of love and of wine’ determined him strictly to certain modes of sympathy and of utterance, and these to a large extent of a slightly artificial character. This volume will serve to show him in other, and certainly as attractive, aspects, while, at the same time, enabling us to a considerable extent to see how faithfully he developed himself on the poetical or fanciful side.... This is a book which claims, as it ought to obtain, various classes of readers, and we trust that the very mixed elements of interest in it may not conflict with its obtaining them. For the lightest reader there is much to enjoy; for the most thoughtful something to ponder over; and the thanks of both are due to editor and publisher alike.”—Nonconformist.
