Old French Plate

ITS MAKERS AND MARKS. The high esteem in which old French plate is held amongst connoisseurs and collectors at home and abroad renders a knowledge of the ancient marks used to distinguish it as genuine, desirable, and even necessary. Whilst the comparatively modern marks placed upon French plate since the Revolution, which are of little interest, have often been printed, no attempt has been made hitherto to interpret the marks by which the beautiful works of the old French goldsmiths may be identified.

Two Important Volumes On The Medici. The Medici

By Colonel G. T. YOUNG, C.B. "The history of the Medici family as a whole - their rise, their 'course upon the mountain top of power,' and their decline and end. It presents a different view of this deeply interesting family than that which has hitherto generally obtained. ... A book likely to be, for a long while, the most judicious and reliable authority within the limits it sets. . . . We heartily recommend this needed and thoroughly successful book." - The Evening Standard. Third Edition. With numerous Illustrations. In Two Volumes. £3 3s. net.

Catherine De Medicis

By PAUL VAN DYKE, Professor in History at Princeton University. "Mr. Van Dyke has not only drawn a faithful portrait of Catherine, but he has given it its proper historical setting. The book is judicious, fair-minded, thorough and authoritative. It leaves us with a clear impression of Catherine as a queen and as a woman, and stands beside the narrative of M. Mariejol as the best and most reliable account of the French wars of religion that we possess." - The Observer.

"Mr. Van Dyke's ten years of strenuous study have resulted in the writing of an excellent history of French politics during the greater part of the 16 th century." - The Sunday Times. Illustrated. In Two Volumes. 42s. net.
