“Much that is here said about the iniquities of French political life may be quite true, and the book, taken in small quantities at a time, is not devoid of a certain interest. But a rigorous criticism would show that the historian must quote it, if at all, with care.”

Van de Put, A. Hispano-Moresque ware of the 15th century. [*]$4. Lane.
“A contribution to its history and chronology, based upon armorial specimens.” This is a small quarto containing 34 plates illustrating pieces taken from many public and private collections. There is a brief general treatise which, while stating frankly that material for a history is lacking, gives much historical information. There is a full description of some of the plates.
“This is the first orderly and intelligent treatise devoted to it. Goes far to supply the obvious need of a manual.”
