NOTES ON BOOKS, &c.

Lady Hamilton and Lord Nelson: an Historical Bio-
graphy based on Letters and other Documents. By
John Cordy Jeaffreson. 2 vols. (Hurst & Blackett.)
MR. JEAFFRESON aims at a rehabilitation of the character
of the famous Lady Hamilton, and in a great measure
succeeds in his effort. In so doing he has to combat the
damaging accusations of Southey and Alison and other
writers, and to remove what in most minds has become
a settled conviction of her guilt. The task he essays is
the more worthy of accomplishment since in clearing
from the gravest offences with which she has been
charged the celebrated mistress of Nelson the fair fame
of England's great naval hero is also established. The
documents on which Mr. Jeaffreson principally relies are
from the fine collection of Mr. Alfred Morrison, who,
with "characteristic generosity," has placed his stores
at Mr. Jeaffreson's disposition. They comprise the bap
tismal certificate, which, with Lady Hamilton's last will,
now given, has not previously been printed, and a series
of letters, many of them of singular interest, addressed
to the Hon. Charles Francis Greville (her first "pro-
tector") Sir William Hamilton, Romney (the painter),
Vathek Beckford, Miss Cornelia Knight, and the Hon.
Robert Fulke Greville, and are dated from her various
residences, including Naples, Caserta, Castellamare, the
Foudroyant in Naples Bay, and 12, Temple Place, within
the rules of the King's Bench Prison,
After reading these letters, with all their proofs of
ignorance, it is difficult to do other than acquit Lady
Hamilton of the worst charges that have been brought
against her. A nature franker, more truthful, more
loyal, and more affectionate than these bespeak for her
early years is not often encountered. It is, of course,
impossible for us to go seriatim through the charges to
which reply is made. After establishing incontestably
her birth and parentage, and her close affection and
watchful tenderness towards her mother and other rela-
tives, Mr. Jeaffreson disposes of the gravest accusation
brought against her in connexion with her service with
Graham, the quack, and his Temple of Health, and the
other matters in her early life brought forward in the
'Scandalous Memoirs.' In this portion of the work the
argument is close and irresistible. The "transaction"
by which Emma, or Amy Lyons, as she was first called,
was handed over from Greville to Sir William Hamilton
-a transaction in which the subsequent Lady Hamilton
was tricked-is brought to light. Then follow the brilliant
life in Naples, the marriage with Sir William Hamilton,
the close friendship with Queen Maria Caroline, in whose
hands she is shown to have been a useful tool, and her
gradually formed intimacy with Nelson. Concerning
her relations with the Queen of Naples the worst accu-
sations were brought by French writers, descendants of
the revolutionary period, who were glad with one effort

to sully a queen who was sister of their own Marie
Antoinette and a woman to whom in part was due the
destruction of the French fleet. They have no more
authority than other sensual ravings of that deplorable
epoch. The accusations in connexion with the death of
Caracciolo and the conduct of Nelson in the Medi-
terranean are English in origin. While dismissing the
foreign scandals, Mr. Jeaffreson answers at length and
convincingly those of home growth. His method of
dealing with them must be read in his pleasant and
valuable pages. While defending Lady Hamilton, how.
ever, against Southey and Alison, he pooh-poohs the
exaggerated claims for service to the country put in for
her by Nelson, and he admits the faults and short-
comings of her later days. A striking contrast is drawn
between the early days, when, simple in her tastes and
inexpensive in her habits, she won the praise of Greville
for her nice conscientiousness, and that later period of
extravagance and gourmandise, when she incurred debts
she could not hope to pay, and drank to "the very
boundary line of intemperance."

and to new and all-important information a vivacity of
Mr. Jeaffreson's book joins to very close reasoning
style that makes its perusal a pleasure. It is an accept-
able outcome of those researches in connexion with the
Historical Manuscripts Commission on which, fortunately
for letters, Mr. Jeaffreson has been lately engaged.
An Accompt of the most considerable Estates and Families
in the County of Cumberland from the Conquest unto
the beginning of the Reign of K. James the First. By
John Denton, of Carden. Edited by R. S. Ferguson.
JOHN DENTON, of Carden, was a local antiquary who
(Kendal, Wilson.)
flourished in the seventeenth century. He is said to
have had a quarrel with the Bishop of Carlisle, and to
have been imprisoned in the Tower in consequence.
His confinement cannot have been of a very severe kind,
for he seems to have been premitted to have unrestrained
access to the records there preserved, and from them to
have compiled the book which has at last been com-
mitted to the press. We are apt to think that imprison-
ment was in former days always loathsome and horrible.
This is, however, not the fact in all cases. When William
Prynne was shut up at Dunster, to keep him out of
harm's way, for his own safety much more than for that of
and Lutterell charters preserved there. Denton may
the State, he employed himself in reading the Mohun
have been a similar man. Both loved the by-paths of
English history, and neither of them seems to have had
containing some errors of a grave nature, is a valuable
much love for the episcopal order. Denton's book, though
manuscript is lost; but Mr. Ferguson has access to
contribution to the history of the borders. The original
several transcripts, some of which contain additional
information which Denton could not have given. The
labour of editing has been discharged in a satisfactory

manner.

Fourth Annual Report of the Bureau of Statistics of
Labor of the State of New York. (Albany, U.S.,
Argus Co.)

THE sheaf of trustworthy data brought together in this
volume will be gratefully accepted by every one interested
in the reconciliation of capital and labour. Students of
political economy who have suffered from the difficulty
of obtaining trustworthy information on subjects con-
nected with industrial organizations will find the tables of
strike returns and "lock-outs" of the greatest use, and
will cordially agree with Mr. Peck, the compiler of the
report, when he asserts that it is the manifest duty of
all those who are engaged in developing the usefulness
of trade unions to supply the Government with statistics

showing the real, not the sentimental and supposed condition of the labouring classes. It is quite certain that "if laws for the protection of the labourers are to be made, they can only be made when the Legislature is put in possession of reliable and thorough information regarding them "; and that "if the unions would show the exact condition of affairs the chances of reform would be increased one hundred fold." In addition to the economical benefits gained from accurate knowledge of the relation of labour and capital further advantages would accrue. A mutual understanding of common difficulties would soften the rivalry which divides every civilized community into two camps, and the energy now wasted in the struggle between work and wealth might then be directed towards elevating and ennobling national life as a great whole.

Bayreuth and Franconian Switzerland. By R. Milner Barry. (Sonnenschein & Co.)

THIS is an account of the travels of three unprotected females by one of them. Leaving Queenborough in the Flushing steamer, they travelled to Bayreuth, where they heard Parsifal and Tristan and Isolde. They then went to Nuremberg, which they found "being rapidly modernized." After stopping at Rupprechtstegen, Pottenstein, and other places, they visited Wartburg, Cassel, Wilhelmshöhe, and Eckernförde, returning home by steamer from Hamburg to Grimsby. With some few exceptions, the book is simply and pleasantly written. Though it is hard to understand why everybody who may make a tour on the Continent at all out of the beaten track should feel compelled to publish an account of the journey, the book may be found useful by those who are intending to visit Franconian Switzerland. We regret that we cannot commend the illustrations, and we think that an index of the names of the places would have added to the usefulness of the volume.

Indian Fables. Collected and Edited by P. V. Ramaswami Raju. (Sonnenschein & Co.) THERE would seem to be no end to the vast store of Oriental fables and romances. These fables, which have been diligently collected and intelligently edited by Mr. Raju, originally appeared from time to time in the pages of the Leisure Hour. They are more than a hundred in number, and are forcibly illustrated by Mr. F. C. Gould.

THE November number of Le Livre opens with some very amusing revelations concerning Béranger, by M. Lemercier de Neuville. They are brilliantly written and have an agreeably personal flavour. An illustration, including nine portraits of Béranger, accompanies this portion of the text. 'Le Parolier de Don Juan,' by M. Arsène Arüss, which follows, deals with Lorenzo d'Aponte, the author of the libretto to Mozart's famous opera. Some interesting information concerning the story of Don Juan is supplied. Pétrarque et Laure' gives, from the Latin works of Petrarch, translations of passages bearing upon his love for Laura. An interesting bibliographical article follows on Les Derniers Catalogues de Cazin,
