ROME IN 1860.
By EDWARD DICEY, author of ‘Life of Cavour.’ Crown 8vo. cloth, 6s. 6d.
‘So striking and apparently so faithful a portrait. It is the Rome of real life he has depicted.’ —Spectator.
THE ITALIAN WAR OF 1848-9,
And the last Italian Poet. By the late HENRY LUSHINGTON, Chief Secretary to the Government of Malta. With a Biographical Preface by G. Stovin Venables. Crown 8vo. cloth, 6s. 6d.
‘Perhaps the most difficult of all literary tasks—the task of giving historical unity, dignity, and interest to events so recent as to be still encumbered with all the details with which newspapers invest them—has never been more successfully discharged ... Mr. Lushington, in a very short compass, shows the true nature and sequence of the event, and gives to the whole story of the struggle and defeat of Italy a decree of unity and dramatic interest which not one newspaper reader in ten thousand ever supposed it to possess.’ —Saturday Review.
