rations and a Map. Demy 8vo, _10s. 6d. net_.
In this work the author, who has resided in various parts of the country
for upwards of twelve years, has endeavoured to place before readers an
account of things and events as he saw them, and to convey to their
minds an idea of how Europeans live there, of their amusements, of their
work, and of those things which are matters of daily interest to them,
so that the work may serve as a kind of preface to that enthralling
volume, the current history of China, as it is daily revealed in the
Press, in Magazines, and in learned works.
IZAAK WALTON.
IZAAK WALTON AND HIS FRIENDS. By STAPLETON MARTIN, M.A., Christ's
College, Cambridge, Barrister-at-Law. With Portraits and Illustrations.
Demy 8vo, _10s. 6d. net_.
Mr. Stapleton Martin has written this book with the primary object of
bringing out the spiritual side of Walton's character. He traces
carefully the inner workings of Walton's mind, and aims at setting forth
the man as he was best known to the circle of intimates with whom he
shared his confidences.
The better to indicate this aspect, the volume also contains brief
biographical sketches of Walton's: poet and ecclesiastic friends,
together with a fine collection of portraits and illustrations of places
connected with Walton's life. There is also a selection from the
poetical works of Walton, Cotton, Donne, Herbert, Wotton, Duport.
