Joinville, Jean de. Memoirs of the Lord of Joinville; new Eng. version by Ethel Wedgwood. *$3. Dutton.
An old chronicle six hundred years old is reproduced here. It records the life and adventures of King Louis of France, known as the “Saint,” with special reference to the seventh crusade in Egypt. The book is fully illustrated.
“We can speak very highly of Miss Wedgwood’s powers of translation; she preserves the spirit of her author, and suggests many of the qualities of his style.”

“Some omissions in the text have been made. One is apt to think that if the book is worth publishing at all, for the student’s use at least, it would have been better not to omit these parts of the text and to add some bibliographical notes.”
