An American girl in London . TheHome and Court Life and Character-istics of the Reigning Families. ByPolitikos. With many Cloth, A remarkably able book. . A great deal of theinn»r history of Europe is to be found in the work, and itis illustrated by admirable portiaits.—The Atheiicrum. Its chief merit is that it gives a new view of severalsovereigns. . The anonymous author seems to havesources of information that are not open to the foreigncorrespondents who generally try to convey the impres- _sion that they are on terms of intimacy with royalty.— @CSan Francisco Chronicle. The anonymous author of these sketches of thereigning sovereigns of Europe appears to have gathered a good deal of curious infor-mation about their private lives, manners, and customs, and has certainly in severalinstances had access to unusual sources. The result is a volume which furnishes viewsof the kings and queens concerned, far fuller and more intimate than can be foundelsewhere.—New York Gives one a discriminating insight into the lives and characters of the reigningkings, queens, and princes. . The reader gets a good idea of them as men and women,apart from their unique and unenviable positions in society.—St. Lends Republic. Rarely is so much information to be found condensed in so small a volume.—Baltimore American. A most entertaining volume which is evidently the work of a singularly well-in-formed writer. The vivid descriptions of the home and court life of the various royaltiesconvey exactly the knowledge of character and the means of a personal estimate which will be valued by intelligent readersSpecimen Portrait.
