Fea, Allan. Some beauties of the seventeenth century; with 82 il. **$4. Brentano’s.
Seventeen chapters, each of which is devoted to the personal history of some famous beauty or group of beauties most of whom belong to Whitehall in the days of the Restoration. “The facts about the various women—and the author has evidently been at some pains to obtain real facts to the best of his ability—are set forth in a simple narrative vein, making no injudicious pleas in defense of their actions and no superfluous attacks on the evident immorality of many characters.” (N. Y. Times.)
