Vitelleschi, Marchesa. Romance of Savoy. [*]$7.50. Dutton.
The romantic rise of the House of Savoy is sketched from its subservient position under the insolent protection of the King of France to an independent state worthy of the respect of the whole of Europe. Two important personages are the center of development, Victor Amadeus II., Duke of Savoy, and Anna Maria of Orleans, granddaughter of Charles I.
“Certain peculiarities of diction betray deficient knowledge of English on the part of the author or the translator, if it has been found necessary to call in the latter.”
