My Autobiography

————

Madame Judith of the Comédie Française

Edited by Paul G'Sell

Translated by Mrs. Arthur Bull

With Photogravure Frontispiece. $3.50 net By mail, $3.75

Madame Judith was not only a stage rival but a close friend of the great French actress, Rachel, and the intimate of Victor Hugo, Alfred de Musset, Alexandra Dumas, Prince Napoleon, and many other men of letters and rank.

Madame Judith's memories extend over an intensely interesting period of French history, commencing with the Revolution that ushered in the Second Empire, and ending with the foundation of the Republic after the Franco-Prussian War.

Famous actors and actresses, poets, novelists, dramatists, members of the imperial family, statesmen, and minor actors in the drama of life flit across the canvas, their personalities being vividly realized by some significant anecdotes or telling characterizations.

Kind-hearted, clear-headed, and brilliantly gifted, Madame Judith led an active and fascinating life, and it is to her credit that while she does not hesitate to tell of the weaknesses of others, she is equally ready to acknowledge her own.

The Life of

Henry Labouchere

By Algar Labouchere Thorold

Authorized Edition. 2 vols. With 6 Photogravure Illustrations

The authorized edition has been prepared by the nephew of Mr. Labouchere, who for the last ten years has been a close neighbor of, and in intimate and personal relation with him. Mr. Labouchere frequently communicated to Mr. Thorold many details of his early life, and discussed with him his numerous activities with great freedom. Mr. Thorold has, furthermore, sole access to a voluminous correspondence, including letters from King Edward VII. when Prince of Wales, Mr. Gladstone, Lord Morley, Sir William Harcourt, Mr. Parnell, Lord Randolph Churchill, and Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, which shed a new and unexpected light upon his political and personal relations with the events and people of his time, in particular his connection with the Radical Party over a period of a considerable number of years. His life as a war correspondent during the siege of Paris and his action in connection with the Parnell Commission, culminating in the dramatic confession of Pigott, will be treated in full detail. As is well-known Mr. Labouchere was the founder and first editor of Truth, that unique production of modern journalism; and much new and interesting information concerning the foundation and early days of this remarkable journal will be brought before the public.

A Woman's Defense

My Own Story

By Louisa of Tuscany Ex-Crown Princess of Saxony

With 19 Illustrations from Original Photographs 8º. $3.50 net. (By mail, $3.75)

In this volume Princess Louisa gives for the first time the authentic inside history of the events that led to her sensational escape from the Court of Saxony and her meeting with Monsieur Giron, with whom the tongue of scandal had associated her name. It is a story of Court intrigue that reads like romance.

"As the story of a woman's life, as a description of the private affairs of Royal houses, we have had nothing more intimate, more scandalous, or more readable than this very frank story."

Miss Jeannette L. Gilder in "The Reader."

"Frank, free, amazingly intimate, refreshing.... She has spared nobody from kings and kaisers to valets and chambermaids."

London Morning Post.

"The Princess is a decidedly vivacious writer, and she does not mince words in describing the various royalties by whom she was surrounded. Some of her pictures of Court life will prove a decided revelation to most readers."—N. Y. Times.

A STARTLING BOOK!

My Past

Reminiscences of the Courts of Austria and of Bavaria

By the Countess Marie Larisch Née Baroness Von Wallersee Daughter of Duke Ludwig and Niece of the Late Empress Elizabeth of Austria

8º. With 21 Illustrations from Original Photographs $3.50 net. By mail, $3.75

The True Story of the Tragic Death of Rudolph, Crown Prince of Austria

The author was the favourite niece of the Empress Elizabeth of Austria and enjoyed her aunt's complete trust. The Empress confided to her many circumstances which this cautious ruler withheld from others close to her person. Her station at the Austrian Court has enabled her to tell many intimate and curiosity-arousing anecdotes concerning the noble families of Europe.

Interesting and full of glamour as her life was, however, her place in history is assured primarily through her inadvertent connection with the amour which Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria carried on with the Baroness Mary Vetsera, and which culminated in the tragic death of the lovers at Meyerling.

"An amazing chronicle of imperial and royal scandals, which spares no member of the two august houses to which she is related."—N. Y. Tribune.
