Half morocco, top edges gilt. 36 Illust., see last page. This is a work supplementary to that of A. de Bartsch and is of great value to students of the Dutch and Flemish schools.

The Text contains a life of most of the Masters, followed by the Catalogue raisonné of their works. Tables of "Contents" and Alphabetical and Chronological Lists of the Artists, and List of the plates, are given (pp. 237-244). The earliest artist included is Hans Bol (1534-1593) and the latest W. J. Van Troostwijk (1782-1810). The Work is out of print.

This work first appeared in the "Atlantic Monthly," but was enlarged and revised for republication. "Fanny Kemble" was a daughter of Charles Kemble, and married Mr. Pierce Butler of Philadelphia in 1834. This volume ends with the record of that event. She achieved distinction both as a tragedienne and as an authoress, and became celebrated later as a public reader. Longfellow commemorated her brilliant powers in the Sonnet (Longfellow; Houghton & Co.'s Edition, 1879-80, Vol. I. p. 207), "On Mrs. Kemble's Readings from Shakespeare :" "O precious evenings! all too swiftly sped!" New York: Kemble, Frances Ann.-RECORDS OF LATER LIFE. Index, 2 col. pp. 669–676. Cloth. ...This is a second series of Mrs. Kemble's Autobiographical Memoirs. She tells the story of her return to the stage, with a multitude of anecdotes, opinions on persons and things, reviews of the books she read, and closes with an account of her brilliant success as a Shakespearean reader and the happy purchase of her New England cottage and a few acres of land "in the beautiful and beloved neighbourhood "of Lenox," after her separation and divorce from Mr. Butler.

Half morocco, top edges red. ... This is a companion book to Mr. Bush's " Reindeer, Dogs, and Snowshoes." The Author was one of the Russo-American Telegraph Exploring Party, 1865-1867. The surveys carried the employés of the proposed Company over nearly 6000 miles of unbroken wilderness from Vancouver's Island to Behring's Straits, and thence to the Chinese frontier in Asia. Three years of hardy endurance were passed, and the enterprise abandoned owing to the successful laying of the Atlantic Cable. The Author's district lay in Siberia and Kamtchatka, and so little is known of that part of the world that the book is pleasant as well as useful. Nearly $3,000,000 were sunk in this enterprise. The last chapter tells what was accomplished in carrying out the proposed "Western Union Extension" of 1864. An interesting account of Mr. Kennan and his travels is given in the "Century," August, 1888. Kennedy, Mr.-HABEAS CORPUS. See Pamphlets: (No. 11.) Kenney, C.-FAIRY TALES and Romances.

Illust., pp. 45-48. ...This Copy has, besides the usual number of fifty Plates, four " large, unpublished "Landscapes by the Author and six picturesque studies of Trees beautifully etched by "H. W. Williams. In all Sixty Plates." Plate XVIII. is followed by two plates numbered XIX., one without any letterpress or explanation, the other being the Ash, as described in the List of plates. The six etchings by Williams follow Plate L., and are in their turn followed by a pretty, unsigned Etching of a Tomb amid foliage, inscribed "Six Etchings of Local 'Subjects from Nature by H. W. Williams." 66 The four double-page Landscapes complete the volume. It was originally proposed to extend the work to three volumes, treating of "build"ings" and "effect," with possibly a fourth, but only one was ever published, the state of the Author's MSS. at his death precluding any attempt to proceed beyond the Volume on Trees, which was originally published in 1815-16, and was regarded as a standard work on the subject to be used by all pupils.

This is a new version of the Author's "Antique Gems," suppressing much purely technical matter mainly interesting to an actual Collector of Gems, and treating of the matter principally in its bearings upon Art and History, with special accounts of where the most noteworthy treasures are to be found. The book contains two valuable Chapters, Cap. IV. on Artists' Signatures, and Cap. V. a Catalogue of Ancient Artists, translated from Dr. Brunn's Essay. A full account of the Poniatowski Forgeries, increasing a collection of 154 genuine pieces to a cabinet of 3000 pieces, is given pp. 265–270. King, Richard John.-CATHEDRALS OF ENGLAND. See Murray, John. King, Thomas H.-MEDIEVAL ARCHITECTURE AND ART, The [855] Study Book of: being a series of working drawings of the principal Monuments of the Middle Ages. Whereof the plans, sections, and details are drawn to uniform scales: with Notes Historical and Explanatory of the Plates. London: Henry Sotheran and Co. 1868. 1868. 4 vols. folio. Half morocco, top edges gilt. ... In each Volume are 100 Plates, containing several features or details of the Church selected for illustration. In all there are detailed drawings of sixty-four Churches, and four magnificent Chalices. The Drawings of each Church are preceded by an account of the Edifice from an historical point, with details of its size and condition, and also an explanation of the several details of the Plates illustrating that particular building. Plate 109 is misplaced and precedes Plates 107 and 108. Apart from the artistic value of the Illustrations to a student of Gothic Architecture, the book has a wide interest for the general reader. It contains a large number of perspective views of Cathedrals and Churches which do not find their way into the ordinary Collections of Tourists and such as are consequently also missing from general books on the subject of which this treats. As the Churches are not arranged alphabetically and there is no Index to the book an alphabetical list of the Cathedrals, etc., illustrated has been prepared and placed with the work. King, Thomas Starr.-THE WHITE HILLS: Their Legends, Land[856] scape, and Poetry. With 60 Illustrations, Engraved by Andrew, from drawings by Wheelock. Boston: Crosby and Nichols. 1863. 8vo. Half white morocco, top edges gilt. Illust. a. c. ... The object of the volume is stated by the Author to be "to direct attention to "the noble landscapes that lie along the routes by which the White Mountains" of New Hampshire "are now approached by tourists—many of which are still unknown "to travellers." Kinglake, Alexander William (1811– ). THE INVASION of the [857] Crimea: Its Origin, and an Account of its progress down to the death of Lord Raglan. Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons. 1863-87. 8 vols. 8vo. Calf extra, marbled edges. Illust. and Maps, each vol. a. c. Index, 2 col. Vol. VIII. pp. 317-383. This is the best Library Edition, and each Volume has a full analytical Table of Contents. There are sixty-five Illustrations, including Maps and Plans. The sufferings of the English soldiers in the Crimea were, as later judgment shows, unfairly visited by the Government and Press upon Lord Raglan. His was but a divided command and in important points, as, for example, the proposed attack upon Sebastopol from the north, he was overruled with evil effects. Naturally, where so much feeling has been shown during the events, a warm defence of either side in an elaborate history of the war would be certain to create hot debate. Serjeant Kinglake's book has proved no exception to the rule, and the sale of the book was prohibited in France during the Empire. Mr. Kinglake had accompanied the British Army to the Crimea in 1854, and the whole "mass of the papers which Lord Raglan had with him at the "time of his death" were placed in his hands by Lady Raglan in 1856. Kingsley, (Rev.) Charles (1819-1875).—ALTON LOCKE. Tailor [858] and Poet. An Autobiography. With a Prefatory Memoir by Thomas Hughes. Eversley Edition. London: Macmillan and Co. 1881. 2 vols. 12mo. Half morocco, top edges gilt. ... Vol. I. contains Hughes's Memoir of Kingsley (pp. 1-76). Kingsley was a "Broad Churchman" and an advocate of "the rights of the working-classes." His letters under the signature of Parson Lot urged that "The People's Charter," which culminated in the Chartist Riots of 1848, was faulty in "that it did not go far enough "in reform." One of his Parson Lot political Pamphlets, "Cheap Clothes and Nasty," is reprinted here, pp. 75-109. He avowed himself a Chartist, and shortly his Paper the "Politics for the People" was discontinued for want of funds. "Cheap Clothes "and Nasty" was the preliminary puff of the "Christian Socialist," another of his political periodicals. 1 |
