WOMEN OF THE RENAISSANCE

A Study of Feminism. Translated by George Herbert Ely. 8 deg.. With
portrait. _net_, $3.50

"We have only admiration to bestow upon this most intricate and masterly
analysis of the great feminine revolution of the sixteenth century ...
There are chapters that we find ourselves wishing everybody might read;
the admirable essay, for instance, on the 'Embroidery of Life,' and that
other chapter discussing the influence of Platonism...."--_Athenaeum,
London_.

"Everything is so brightly, so captivatingly important in this volume,
the search into the past has been so well rewarded, the conclusions are
so shrewd and clever, the subject is so limitless, yet curiously
limited, that as history or as psychology it should gain a large
public."--_Bookman_.

THE ART OF LIFE

Translated by George Herbert Ely. 8 deg.. (By mail, $1.85) _net_, $1.75

There is no one to whom Buffon's phrase, _Le style c'est l'homme meme_,
may be more justly applied than to M. de Maulde. His work is absolutely
himself; it derives from his original personality and his wide and sure
learning an historical value and a literary charm almost unique. He is a
wit with the curiosity and patience of the scholar, and a scholar with
the temperament of the artist. The sparkle and humour of his
conversation are crystallised in his letters, the charming expression of
a large and generous nature.
