(with Portrait): With Notices of his Works, and Reminiscences of his Son, Lord Lyndhurst, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Company. 1882. 8vo. Half morocco, top edges gilt. ... A biography of the noted Painter (1737–1815). His most noted picture, the "Death of Chatham," with fifty-five portraits, is now in the London National Gallery. This was engraved by Bartolozzi, who agreed with Copley to execute the engraving for £2000. The Life and Correspondence of Lord Lyndhurst (1772-1863), four times Chancellor, are arrayed in the form of an exceedingly vehement refutation of the statements of Lord Campbell in his Lives of the Chancellors, vol. viii. "To answer the calumnies written by "him against Lord Lyndhurst who would never be on intimate or friendly terms with him " is one of the principal objects of the present volume." Mrs. Amory's book was probably not published in time to come under the notice of the writer of the article “Lynd“hurst" in the new Encyclopædia Britannica. There the political tergiversations of the Chancellor are stated very boldly: it is asserted that before he was "taken up by the "Tories" he was a man of the most advanced views, a republican, and Jacobin. In one year he spoke in the House strongly against, and later strongly in favor of Catholic Emancipation, he having come into power between whiles. After he was out of power he advocated the admission of Jews into Parliament and coöperated with Mrs. Norton in advocating women's rights in questions of divorce. His changes of opinion excited much comment at the time, but he met it with imperturbable good humour. His granddaughter Mrs. Amory, however, deems he was never open to the charges of holding advanced views, or being a republican, and least of all being tainted with Jacobinism. Mrs. Amory died before the work was published, and the task of putting it through the press was undertaken by Dr. Charles Kneeland of Boston. Lord Lyndhurst was very ready-tongued, and once when Lord Brougham declared of a salary attached to some appointment that it was all "moonshine," Lord Lyndhurst retorted, "May be so, my lord Harry; but I have a confounded strong notion that, moon"shine though it be, you would like to see the first quarter of it." His political inconsistencies are undeniable, and the personal relations between Lord Campbell and himself seem to have been different (outwardly at least) from Mrs. Amory's view of them, when judged from Lord Campbell's Life of the Chancellor.

Translated by Charles Shaw. With the original Danish edition, containing 52 large woodcuts. Same imprint. 1868. ... The Chronological Collection of the Danish Kings "forms an entailed property "of the royal house, but is under the control of the State." The collection was founded in 1648, and now occupies the entire "Rosenborg Castle." The architecture of this castle is attributed to Inigo Jones (1604). One or more rooms " are devoted to "the reign of each king decorated in the style of the period." The Danish text has 52 illustrations and the three most interesting features of the Collection seem to be (a) the "Oldenborg horn" (pp. 13 and 4) of the time of Christian I. (circa 1450), the legend of which is given in detail; (b) the Coronation Chair of the Danish Kings (pp. 37 and 46), nearly four ells in height and made of unicorns' or narwals' tusks, a material which at the time when procured for the chair "had a "value of its own weight in silver;" and (c) the superb "Glass Room" (pp. 90 and 47), more rich in Venetian glass than any other collection in the world.

Half calf. ·.· A collection of three Tracts translated (says Lowndes) "with singular attention to "the simplicity and naïveté of the diction." It has a double Frontispiece giving the Portrait and the Execution of the Duke D'Enghien. The first Tract was incorporated in 1792 into the Memoirs of Mr. Weber, the Duchess's mother's foster-brother, and recounts the Events of the Journey of June, 1791. The Translator notes that there have been nine or ten narratives of these events by eye-witnesses and yet, curiously enough, "all contradict each other, some on trivial and some "on more essential points, but in every case in a wonderful and inexplicable manner." The Tract has a Plan of the Tuileries and parts adjacent as they were at the period of the attempted escape of the Royal Family. The second Tract is severely criticised for its style-the French critics laugh at it as being "in many places vulgarly ungrammatical." Be that as it may, it is believed that the King himself even corrected the press. It was addressed to the Duke d'Avaray (1759-1811), who had the entire confidence of " Monsieur," and the authenticity of the Memoir is undoubted. The third Tract has a painful interest, for the Duchess, the Princess Royal of France, was the only survivor of the Prisoners of the Temple. Her name did not appear on the original Title-page, but the authenticity is abundantly proved by internal evidence. The Memoirs were first published in 1817 and commence with the arrival of the King, her father, at the Temple on August 13, 1792, closing with the death of Louis XVII., June 9, 1795. Madame Royale remained six months in the prison after the death of her brother and left it Dec. 19, 1795, on the 17th anniversary of her birth. In an Appendix is given Monsieur Harmand's Report on the state of the Dauphin's health and "the steady silence of the unfortunate child" prior to his early death.

Translated from the German. New York: Dodd, Mead & Company [n. d.]. Large folio. Morocco back, top edges gilt. It appears that the Berlin Museum in 1882 secured six shipments of articles collected on the northwest coast whereby over a thousand specimens were added "from a "field entirely new." This monograph consists of a Preface, Introduction, and Notes (12 pages), followed by 13 Plates (5 of which are colored), each accompanied by a page of explanatory letter-press. The colored Plates reproduce principally masks used by the Indians of Fort Rupert, Vancouver's Island, Banks' Sound, Queen Charlotte Sound, etc., some of which are used on ordinary festivities, some for cannibal feasts, and some for very special occasions. Plate 6 gives three very remarkable "house idols" and the remainder of the plates reproduce various house utensils, drinking-bowls; a remarkable bear-skin worn at festive dances; and a handsome blanket of the Chileat Indians who are celebrated for manufacturing them from the hair of the mountain goat with long fringes.
