Sup. * . v Vaughn HISTORY OF GREEK PEOPLE, by Willlam Miller. “A well-balanced and sympathetic view of the gifted Greek people, for the general reader.” P LIFE ON A MEDIAEVAL BARONY, by William 8. Davis. “In this fascinating semi-fictitious narrative Professor Davis reconstructs and vivifies for the modern reader the actual daily life of the feudal ages. To make the picture definite he has chosen the specific year A. D. 1220, and he places his imaginary barony in northern France. The author's early work of fiction relating to an- cient times long ago proved his abil- ity to deal romantically with such material. Every little detail of the Jife of the times is brought out sa- liently—furniture, domestic habits, the' manner of dressing, the soldier’s equipment, practices of chivalry and numerous other details. The whole is made graphic by the large number of drawings which have been for the mpn part taken from ancient manu- scripts. "—Ouuook . o MATAHARI, hy H. 0.
