ence, that it is a literary treat to read it."--_Academy._ "Clever and expressive, subtle and brilliant....

We do not know why the writing reminds us of George Sand, but it does.... Vernon Lee writes prose harmonies which are finely composed."--_Vanity Fair._ THE SEALS AND ARMORIAL INSIGNIA OF THE UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGES OF CAMBRIDGE. Part I.
