Bradley, Arthur Granville. In the march and borderland of Wales. **$3. Houghton.
In this volume “Wales and its people and the eastern counties of England are happily described.... The book treats not only of the Marches of Wales, but of the English counties bordering on the principality.... Wherever Mr. Bradley wandered, he made notes and studied local history—not merely the history that one finds in books, but the history that is handed down by word of mouth.... Odds and ends ... that make this story vastly interesting to read.... Mr. Bradley was accompanied by a sympathetic artist, Mr. W. M. Meredith, whose pictures are pronounced excellent and accurate by the author.... A good index completes the volume.”—N. Y. Times.

“Here is a long book, disfigured by blunders so numerous that they arrest the attention abruptly and make the act of reading far less agreeable than it ought to be.”
