The friendship of Robert Browning and Alfred Domett, the “Waring” of his poem, is here revealed thru letters written by the poet to Domett in New Zealand. “Written chiefly during the years 1840–1846, they cover a period of Browning’s life of which little has been made public—the period just preceding his marriage, while he was living at New Cross, writing and publishing serially his ‘Bells and pomegranates.’... This collection of letters, though small, revealing a masculine friendship surviving the strain of separation of years, and of divided interests, helps to make an impression of a character which becomes the more exalted as it is better known. Portraits of Browning, of Domett, and of Sir Joseph Arnould (a third in this trio of Camberwell friends) illustrate the volume.” (Dial.)

=Kingsford, Charles Lethbridge.= Chronicles of London; with introd. and notes. *$3.40. Oxford.

“This scholarly work presents to the reader three of the old London chronicles which are contained in the Cottonian Mss., Julius B. ii., Cleopatra C. iv., and Vitellius A. xvi., and which embrace a period of English history extending from the times of Richard I. to the year 1509. The editor in his introduction traces the evolution of the ‘chronicle’ from the early official record known as the ‘Liber de antiquis legibus’ to the popular works of Holinshed and Stow.”—Ath.

“The student must be very circumspect as to the manner in which he uses the information he gleans from these ‘Chronicles,’ as the dates are often inaccurate, though the facts are, in the main, correct. Mr. Kingsford’s scholarly introduction and notes will, however, aid him very materially to avoid missing his way in the labyrinth of rather loosely put information in which the ancient chroniclers conveyed their facts.”

=Kingsley, Mrs. Florence (Morse).= Intellectual Miss Lamb. 75c. Century.

“The exuberantly youthful, kittenish beauty exhibited in Miss Lamb’s pink and white curl-shaded cherubic countenance” seems far from suggesting the fact that she is “little more than a walking edition of the great Greathead’s ‘Physiological psychology.’” She can subject the man who loves her to as critical a scientific analysis as the little “Master William,” who calls her “Lamby,”—and all for the sake of her “Tabulated records.” One day the precious manuscript is chewed to pulp by a bull terrier that must have been in sympathy with Billy Gregg; for it was the day of his delayed innings.

=Kinkead, Eleanor Talbot.= Invisible bond. †$1.50. Moffat.

“The scene of this novel is laid in Kentucky.... A scheming woman, poor and beautiful, ensnares a man whose nature demanded a nobler companion spirit than hers. Unhappiness, disgrace, and tragedy followed their marriage. But, with the power bestowed upon novelists, the author restores the worthy characters to happiness and consigns the unworthy to their own place.”—Outlook.
