JANE G. PERKINS'S
THE LIFE OF THE HONOURABLE MRS. NORTON
With portrait, 8vo. $3.50 net; by mail, $3.68.
Mrs. Norton was the great Sheridan's grand-daughter, beautiful and witty,
the author of novels, poems and songs, contesting contemporary popularity
with Mrs. Browning; her influence was potent in politics; Meredith
undoubtedly had her in mind when he drew "Diana of the Crossways."
"Reads like a novel ... seems like the page from an old romance,
and Miss Perkins has preserved all its romantic charm.... Miss
Perkins has let letters, and letters unusually interesting, tell
much of the story.... Indeed her biography has all the sustained
interest of the novel, almost the irresistible march of fate of
the Greek drama. It is eminently reliable."--_Boston Transcript._
"Brilliant, beautiful, unhappy, vehement Caroline Norton....
Her story is told here with sympathy, but yet fairly enough
... interesting glimpses ... of the many men and women of note
with whom Mrs. Norton was brought into more or less intimate
association."--_Providence Journal._
"The generous space allowed her to tell her own story in the form
of intimate letters is a striking and admirable feature of the
book."--_The Dial._
"She was an uncommonly interesting personage and the memoir ...
has no dull spots and speedily wins its way to a welcome."--_New
York Tribune._
"So exceptional and vivid a personality ... of unusual quality
... very well written."--_The Outlook._
YUNG WING'S MY LIFE IN CHINA AND AMERICA
With portrait, 8vo. $2.50 net; by mail, $2.65.
The author's account of his early life in China, his education at
Yale, where he graduated in 1854 (LL.D., 1876), his return to China and
adventures during the Taiping rebellion, his intimate association with
Tsang Kwoh Fan and Li Hung Chang, and finally his great work for the
"Chinese Educational Movement" furnish highly interesting and good
reading.
"It is his native land that is always the great heroic character
on the stage his mind surveys; and his mental grasp is as wide as
his domiciliation. A great life of action and reflection and the
experiences of two hemispheres. It is not so much a knowledge of
isolated facts that is to be got from the book as an understanding
of the character of the Chinese race."--_Hartford Courant._
"There is not a dull line in this simply told but fascinating
biography."--_Literary Digest._
"He has given Occidental readers an opportunity to behold the
machinery of Chinese custom and the substance of Chinese character
in action. No foreigner could possibly have written a work
so instructive, and no untravelled native could have made it
intelligible to the West ... a most interesting story both in
the telling and in the acting.... Mr. Yung presents each of his
readers with a fragment of China herself."--_Living Age._

"_The most important biographic contribution to musical

(Circular with complete review and sample pages on application.)
Personal Recollections of Wagner
By ANGELO NEUMANN
Translated from the fourth German edition by EDITH LIVERMORE.
Large 12mo. 318 pp., with portraits and one of Wagner's letters
in facsimile. $2.50 net; by mail $2.65.
Probably no man ever did more to make Wagner's music dramas known
than Angelo Neumann, who, with his famous "Wagner Travelling Theatre,"
carrying his artists, orchestra, scenery and elaborate mechanical
devices, toured Germany, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Austria and Russia,
and with another organization gave "The Ring" in London. But the account
of this tour, interesting as it is, is not the main feature of his book,
which abounds in intimate glimpses of Wagner at rehearsals, at Wahnfried
and elsewhere, and tells much of the great conductor, Anton Seidl, so
beloved by Americans. Among other striking figures are Nikisch and Muck,
both conductors of the Boston Symphony orchestra, Mottl, the Vogls,
Von Bulow, Materna, Marianna Brandt, Klafsky, and Reicher-Kindermann.
It is doubtful if any book gives a more vivid and truthful picture of
life and "politics" behind the scenes of various opera houses. Many of
the episodes, such as those of a bearded Brynhild, the comedy writer
and the horn player and the prince and the Rhinedaughter are decidedly
humorous.
The earlier portions of the book tell of the Leipsic negotiations and
performances, the great struggle with Von Huelsen, the royal intendant at
Berlin, Bayreuth and "Parsifal." Many of Wagner's letters appear here
for the first time.

THE GREATER ENGLISH POETS OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY

Shelley, Byron, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Landor, Browning, Tennyson,
Arnold, Rossetti, Morris, and Swinburne. Their outlook upon life rather
than their strictly literary achievement is kept mainly in view.
"The sound and mellow fruits of his long career as a critic....
There is not a rash, trivial, or dull line in the whole book....
Its charming sanity has seduced me into reading it to the end,
and anyone who does the same will feel that he has had an
inspiring taste of everything that is finest in nineteenth-century
poetry. Ought to be read and reread by every student of literature,
and most of all by those who have neglected English poetry,
for here one finds its essence in brief compass."--_Chicago
Record-Herald._
