BOOKS OF THE WEST COUNTRY
THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF ROBERT STEPHEN HAWKER
Sometime Vicar of Morwenstow. Compiled by his Son-in-Law, /C. E. Byles/, from hitherto unpublished manuscripts. With numerous Illustrations, including Lithographs by /J. Ley Pethybridge/, two Sketches by the /Earl of Carlisle/, reproductions from contemporary Prints, Portraits, Photographs, etc. Crown 8vo. Price 7s. 6d. net.
_TIMES._--“A well-written life is not, as Carlyle declared it to be, almost as rare as a well-spent one; it is a much rarer thing indeed. Mr. Byles has given us a book which will earn the gratitude of those whose love of poetry urges them to a knowledge of the poet.... Hawker dedicated his works to Prince Posterity, and the dedication will be accepted by many readers of the new biography, who will find in Robert Hawker one of the knights of his own Sangraal, ‘thorough men.’”
_MORNING POST._--“Gratitude is distinctly due to Mr. Byles for his new life of his father-in-law.... There are many excellent illustrations.... Mr. J. Ley Pethybridge has the very spirit of the West Country.”
_DAILY TELEGRAPH._--“As soon as the volume is opened one finds oneself in the presence of a real original, a man of ability, genius, and eccentricity, of whom one cannot know too much.... He was every inch a man.... No one will read this fascinating and charmingly produced book without thanks to Mr. Byles and a desire to visit--or revisit--Morwenstow.”
_DAILY NEWS._--“Here at length is the authentic life--the record, mainly in his own letters, of one of the most fascinating, wayward, independent personalities of the nineteenth century. The man here wrote out his heart’s confession.... The comparison is, indeed, with Carlyle.... Each possessed a spiritual vision denied to the common crowd; each mingles passages of eloquence and lamentation with outbreaks of fury and a shaggy, boisterous humour. Hawker was a unique figure in Victorian England.”
_STANDARD._--“A breezy book, with plenty of salt in it--of the sea and of common-sense.”
CORNISH BALLADS AND OTHER POEMS
By ROBERT STEPHEN HAWKER
Edited, with a Preface, by /C. E. Byles/. With numerous Illustrations by /J. Ley Pethybridge/ and others, and a special binding designed from oak carvings in the churches of Morwenstow and Welcombe.
Crown 8vo, 5s. net.
_This book contains Hawker’s complete poetical works, including several pieces previously uncollected._
_TIMES._--“‘The Quest of the Sangraal’ is an exquisitely moulded torso ... the fragment of his epic gives him a sure place among the poets who are only minor because their supreme moments are few.”
_ACADEMY._--“His fragment of the ‘Sangraal’ is worthy to be compared with Tennyson’s treatment of the subject.... The excellent popular edition.... Essential to every lover of the Cornish poet.”

FOOTPRINTS OF FORMER MEN IN FAR CORNWALL
By ROBERT STEPHEN HAWKER
Edited, with an Introduction, by /C. E. Byles/, and containing numerous Illustrations by /J. Ley Pethybridge/. Crown 8vo, 5s. net. [Uniform with “Cornish Ballads.”]
_LITERARY WORLD._--“Reading these sketches, we come upon passages which Ruskin himself might have written. There is in them a rare rich flavour of the author’s individuality, something of the atmosphere, the colour, the rugged grandeur of the coast.”
_WORLD._--“His book is a peculiarly delightful one, full of that indescribable charm which permeates Scott’s novels.... The style is inimitable, the anecdotes are quaint and original, and the illustrations are well chosen and excellently reproduced; and a word of praise is due to the tasteful binding.”
* * * * *
THE WINGLESS VICTORY. By /M. P. Willcocks/. Crown 8vo, 6s.
_TIMES._--“Such books are worth keeping on the shelves, even by the classics, for they are painted in colours that do not fade.”
_OUTLOOK._--“A very remarkable work, which places Miss Willcocks in the first rank ... a novel built to last.”
_TRIBUNE._--“Miss Willcocks’s splendid book ... a very strong and able novel, deserving high praise and wide popularity--a novel to read and to remember.”
_DAILY MAIL._--“‘The Wingless Victory’ stands out as something quite out of the common.... In its grasp of character and circumstance, in its rare wisdom, and, above all, in its unerring insight into the deep springs of human action, it is a remarkable achievement which entitles its author to a first place in the ranks of contemporary novelists. This is high praise, but we venture to prophesy it will be endorsed by critics and readers alike.”
_STANDARD._--“It is an excellent thing for any reader to come across a book so fresh and fervent, so instinct with genuine passion and emotion, and all the fierce primitive joys of existence, as is the ‘The Wingless Victory’ ... really a book of remarkable strength and glow and insight.”
_DAILY NEWS._--“Miss Willcocks shows wonderful insight into character ... and her skill in this regard and in her descriptions of the wild beauty of the Cornish scenery often make us feel that she is a novelist with a great future.”
_ACADEMY._--“Mr. John Lane is to be congratulated on having discovered Miss Willcocks, and if her latest work is not a great success, it will not be creditable to the discernment of the reading public.”

WIDDICOMBE: A Novel. By /M. P. Willcocks/. Crown 8vo, 6s.
_MORNING POST._--“The characterisation is both discriminating and subtle.”
_EVENING STANDARD._--“Wonderfully alive ... a fine, rather unusual novel. There are some striking studies of women.”
* * * * *
A CHILD OF THE SHORE: A Romance of Cornwall. By S. M. Fox. Crown 8vo, 6s.
_MORNING LEADER._--“A remarkable book, glowing, fanciful, and fantastic by turns.”
_OUTLOOK._--“An unusually good piece of imaginative work.”
* * * * *
THE FISHERS: A Novel. By /J. H. Harris/. Crown 8vo. 6s.
_MORNING POST._--“A notable book.”
_TIMES._--“A fascinating story; the author is thoroughly well informed as to his subject.”
* * * * *
THE CHRONICLE OF A CORNISH GARDEN. By /Harry Roberts/. With 7 Full-page Illustrations and a Cover Design by _F. L. Griggs._ Crown 8vo, 5s. net.
_THE LITERARY WORLD._--“The Chronicle is written in a frank, unaffected style, and will suggest useful ideas to other garden lovers.”
SIR BEVILL
By ARTHUR CHRISTOPHER THYNNE
With 7 Illustrations by /J. Ley Pethybridge/, and a Portrait of Sir Bevill Granville after Vandyck.
Crown 8vo, 6s.
_ACADEMY._--“Altogether delightful, setting the reader amid broom and heather on the Devon moors, or by the sounding sea on the Cornish coast.... All the everyday life is admirably rendered, and many of the side characters are brilliantly sketched.”
_SATURDAY REVIEW._--“Master Teague is almost as magnificent in his hypocritical villainy as our old friend Trusty Tomkins of ‘Woodstock.’ ... The stag hunt, the witch hunt, the gipsy camp, the Court masque, and the battle are admirable.”
_OUTLOOK._--“A very living and lovable bit of work, sweet with the scent of heather and breath of the sea.”
_DAILY MAIL._--“A rollicking good romance of Stuart days.”
_DAILY EXPRESS._--“Well written, exciting, and breezy of the western moors.”
/Mr. G. R. SIMS/, in _REFEREE_.--“A most delightful book, the work of an old friend of mine, Canon Thynne, who has, in ‘Sir Bevill,’ told with skill and charm and authority, a story of the days of Charles I. I have spent some sleepless nights very pleasantly with ‘Sir Bevill.’”
_DAILY CHRONICLE._--“The author describes well, and has the gift of telling incident.”
CORNISH SAINTS AND SINNERS

STARS OF THE STAGE
A Series of Illustrated Biographies of the Leading Actors, Actresses, and Dramatists. Edited by /J. T. Grein/. Crown 8vo. 2_s._ 6_d._ each net.
⁂ _It was Schiller who said: “Twine no wreath for the actor, since his work is oral and ephemeral.” “Stars of the Stage” may in some degree remove this reproach. There are hundreds of thousands of playgoers, and both editor and publisher think it reasonable to assume that a considerable number of these would like to know something about actors, actresses, and dramatists, whose work they nightly applaud. Each volume will be carefully illustrated, and as far as text, printing, and paper are concerned will be a notable book. Great care has been taken in selecting the biographers, who in most cases have already accumulated much appropriate material._

_WORKS UPON NAPOLEON_
NAPOLEON & THE INVASION OF ENGLAND:
The Story of the Great Terror, 1797-1805. By /H. F. B. Wheeler/ and /A. M. Broadley/. With upwards of 100 Full-page Illustrations reproduced from Contemporary Portraits, Prints, etc.; eight in Colour. Two Volumes. 32_s._ net.
⁂ _Hitherto no book dealing exhaustively with Napoleon’s colossal plans for invading the United Kingdom, and our own strenuous measures to resist his coming, has appeared in the English language. This work, which has been in preparation for several years, is a careful study of this neglected phase of Napoleonic history. It not only deals with the military and naval preparations made by both nations, but with the more picturesque side of their campaign. While Napoleon was riding along the sands of Boulogne encouraging the shipbuilders and organising the Army of England--which was to conquer half Europe as the Grand Army--Pitt was drilling Volunteers at Walmer Castle, Fox was exercising as a private in the Chertsey Volunteers, and the peace-loving Addington appeared in the House of Commons in military uniform. The churches were stored with arms, and two hours’ drilling was undergone every Sunday, to say nothing of week-days. Never before or since has the pencil of the cartoonist played so important a part in the formation of public opinion. Patriotism on paper was rampant. From 1798 till 1805, when Trafalgar lifted the war-cloud which hung over the Kingdom, pen and press were turning out history in pictures by hundreds, as well as popular songs. Caricatures, squibs, and broadsides against Napoleon and the threatened invasion did much to encourage the population to prepare to resist the legions of France. The facile pencils of Gillray, the Cruikshanks, Ansell, Rowlandson, West, Woodward, and a score of lesser lights, were never idle. Many unique cartoons and other illustrations appear in these volumes, which also include important letters, never before published, of George III, the Duke of Buckingham, Lord Brougham, Decies, Richard Cumberland, Thomas Order Powlett, Mrs. Piozzi, and other celebrities._
THE FALL OF NAPOLEON. By /Oscar Browning/, /M.A./, Author of “The Boyhood and Youth of Napoleon.” With numerous Full-page Illustrations. Demy 8vo (9 × 5-3/4 inches). 12_s._ 6_d._ net.
⁂ _The story of the fall of Napoleon has never been adequately written for English readers, and great misconception still exists in this country even with regard to the most material facts. The present volume attempts to supply this omission, and makes use of the copious recent literature on this portion of Napoleon’s life, which adds so largely to our knowledge of the subject. The narrative begins with Napoleon’s return to Paris after the Russian disaster. It gives a complete account of the campaigns of 1813 and 1814, based very largely upon personal knowledge of the battlefields. The events connected with the abdication at Fontainebleau are carefully described. The life in Elba is painted, and the marvellous march to Paris dealt with in detail. In treating of the Hundred Days the attitude of the English Government has received much attention, and the Waterloo campaign has been dealt with from the point of view of the best and most recent authorities. The book concludes with a minute account of Napoleon’s surrender at Aix, which has never before been properly presented in an English dress, and leaves Napoleon on board the “Northumberland.” The book will form a companion volume to “The Boyhood and Youth of Napoleon,” by the same author._
THE BOYHOOD &. YOUTH OF NAPOLEON, 1769-1793. Some Chapters on the early life of Bonaparte. By /Oscar Browning/, /M.A./ With numerous Illustrations, Portraits, etc. Crown 8vo. 5_s._ net.
_Daily News._--“Mr. Browning has with patience, labour, careful study, and excellent taste given us a very valuable work, which will add materially to the literature on this most fascinating of human personalities.”
_Literary World._--“ ... Mr. Browning has examined all the available sources of information and carefully weighed his historical evidence. His discriminating treatment has resulted in a book that is ... one that arrests attention by the conviction its reasoned conclusions carry.”
_World._--“The story of Napoleon’s childhood could not have had an abler or more sympathetic narrator than the author of this very fascinating work.”

THE DUKE OF REICHSTADT (NAPOLEON II.) By /Edward de Wertheimer/. Translated from the German. With numerous Illustrations. Demy 8vo. _21s._ net. (Second Edition.)
_Times._--“A most careful and interesting work which presents the first complete and authoritative account of the life of this unfortunate Prince.”
_Westminster Gazette._--“This book, admirably produced, reinforced by many additional portraits, is a solid contribution to history and a monument of patient, well-applied research.”
_Public Opinion._--“No student of Napoleon’s life can afford to miss this book, which tells the story of his son, who was variously known as King of Rome, the Duke of Parma, Napoleon II, and the Duke of Reichstadt.... The story of his life is admirably told.”
