WADE, M.A. With Thirty-two Illustrations and Two Maps “Upon smooth Quantock’s airy ridge we roved.” LondonMethuen & Co36 Essex St. Strand [Illustration: Hand drawn Routes of the Somerset & Dorset Railway] PREFACE The general scheme of this Guide is determined by that of the series of which it forms part. But a number of volumes by different writers are never likely to be quite uniform in character, even though planned on the same lines; and it seems desirable to explain shortly the aim we have had in view in writing our own little book....

FOUR PLAYS OF AESCHYLUS THE SUPPLIANT MAIDENSTHE PERSIANSTHE SEVEN AGAINST THEBESTHE PROMETHEUS BOUND TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH VERSE BY E.D.A. MORSHEAD, MA. INTRODUCTION The surviving dramas of Aeschylus are seven in number, though he is believed to have written nearly a hundred during his life of sixty-nine years, from 525 B.C. to 456 B.C. That he fought at Marathon in 490, and at Salamis in 480 B.C. is a strongly accredited tradition, rendered almost certain by the vivid references to both battles in his play of The Persians, which was produced in 472....

THE ADVENTURES OF GERARD BYA. CONAN DOYLE “Il etait brave mais avec cette graine de foilie dans sa bravoure que les Francais aiment.” FRENCH BIOGRAPHY. PREFACE I hope that some readers may possibly be interested in these little tales of the Napoleonic soldiers to the extent of following them up to the springs from which they flow. The age was rich in military material, some of it the most human and the most picturesque that I have ever read....
THE AMATEUR I It was February off the Banks, and so thick was the weather that, on the upper decks, one could have driven a sleigh. Inside the smoking-room Austin Ford, as securely sheltered from the blizzard as though he had been sitting in front of a wood fire at his club, ordered hot gin for himself and the ship’s doctor. The ship’s doctor had gone below on another “hurry call” from the widow....

With the creative implications of this new pictorial art, with the whole visual-minded race clamoring for more, what may we not dream in the way of a new renaissance? How are we to step in to the possession of such a destiny? Are the institutions with a purely literary theory of life going to meet the need? Are the art schools and the art museums making themselves ready to assimilate a new art form?...
THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY. VOL. X.–OCTOBER, 1862.–NO. LX. A MAGAZINE OF LITERATURE, ART, AND POLITICS. AUTUMNAL TINTS. Europeans coming to America are surprised by the brilliancy of our autumnal foliage. There is no account of such a phenomenon in English poetry, because the trees acquire but few bright colors there. The most that Thomson says on this subject in his “Autumn” is contained in the lines,– “But see the fading many-colored woods, Shade deepening over shade, the country round Imbrown; a crowded umbrage, dusk and dun, Of every hue, from wan declining green to sooty dark”:– and in the line in which he speaks of “Autumn beaming o’er the yellow woods....
THE BLACK ROBE by Wilkie Collins BEFORE THE STORY. FIRST SCENE. BOULOGNE-SUR-MER.–THE DUEL. I. THE doctors could do no more for the Dowager Lady Berrick. When the medical advisers of a lady who has reached seventy years of age recommend the mild climate of the South of France, they mean in plain language that they have arrived at the end of their resources.
