PART III.—STORIES OF CRIME AND MISADVENTURE.

In this volume an attempt has been made to present in a series of striking episodical narratives the principal events in London history, and some of the more striking aspects of London life. Full particulars are given of plots and conspiracies, forgeries and murders, executions and hair-breadth escapes; and many favourite old stories, not easily accessible now, are brought forward in a new dress, with all the light of recent research thrown upon them.

A COMPANION VOLUME. BY THE SAME AUTHOR.

A BOOK ABOUT LONDON.

The Streets of London:

An Alphabetical Index to the principal Streets, Squares, Parks, and Thoroughfares, with their Associations—Historical, Traditional, Social, and Literary. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d.

This work is the result of very extensive labour, and offers, it is believed, a completer view than has before been attempted of the diverse associations which lend so profound an interest to the Streets of London. It contains more than a thousand succinct references to remarkable persons, incidents, and scenes, with illustrative anecdotes and full explanations gathered from a vast number of authentic sources.

By LADY FLORENCE DIXIE.

NEW WORK FOR THE YOUNG.

ANIWEE; Or, The Warrior Queen.

A Tale of the Araucanian Indians and the Mythical Trauco People. By the Author of “The Young Castaways,” etc. In large crown 8vo with Frontispiece. 5s.

“A story of pure adventure, full of incident, and related with much smoothness and animation. As a story simply this work appeals to, and will be heartily accepted by, the boys and girls to whom it may be presented.”—Globe.

“Another pleasant book for the young from Lady Florence Dixie. The boys and girls—and we hope they are many—who have drunk in delight from her ‘Young Castaways’ will find their reward in this new story of ‘Aniwee.’”—Echo.

“The story is romantic and interesting enough to delight boys and girls alike, and the adventures with the Trauco people are as novel as they are thrilling.”—Daily Graphic.
