“So far as regards the distinctive study of secondary education, it must be said that Dr. De Garmo’s book is the first in the field. The name of the author and the title will arouse general interest in the volume, and this interest will be sustained by the contents.” Nathaniel Butler.

De Lancey, Magdalene (Hall), lady. A week at Waterloo in 1815. *$1.50. Dutton.
7–8229.
“Lady de Lancey gives an account of the wound received by her husband at the great battle, of the agony of suspense caused to her as the varying news came filtering through to her at Antwerp, and of the way in which she tended him in a cottage in Mont St. Jean. The story is one of genuine pathos, which is, if that could be possible, enhanced by the fact that they had been married less than three months.... Letters by Walter Scott and Dickens add interest to the volume.”—Ath.

“Lady De Lancey’s book is, however, literature, worthy to stand beside Lucy Hutchinson’s life of her colonel and Margaret of Newcastle’s life of her lord.”
