Red-Spinner’s By Stream and Sea:
A Book for Wanderers and Anglers. By William Senior (Red-Spinner).
“Mr. Senior has long been known as an interesting and original essayist. He is a keen observer, a confessed lover of ‘the gentle sport,’ and combines with a fine picturesque touch a quaint and efficient humour. All these qualities come out in a most attractive manner in this delightful volume.... It is pre-eminently a bright and breezy book, full of nature and odd out-of-the-way references.... We can conceive of no better book for the holiday tour or the seaside.”—Nonconformist.
“Very delightful reading; just the sort of book which an angler or a rambler will be glad to have in the side pocket of his jacket. Altogether, ‘By Stream and Sea’ is one of the best books of its kind which we have come across for many a long day.”—Oxford University Herald.

Memoirs of the Sanson Family:
Seven Generations of Executioners. By Henri Sanson. Translated from the French, with Introduction, by Camille Barrère.
“A faithful translation of this curious work, which will certainly repay perusal—not on the ground of its being full of horrors, for the original author seems to be rather ashamed of the technical aspect of his profession, and is commendably reticent as to its details, but because it contains a lucid account of the most notable causes célèbres from the time of Louis XIV. to a period within the memory of persons still living.... Can scarcely fail to be extremely entertaining.”—Daily Telegraph.
