T.R.H. the Prince and Princess of Wales. By the Author

of "His Most Gracious Majesty King Edward VII." (G. Newnes. 7s. 6d.)—There is more material for a book of this kind than is sometimes to be found in memoirs of Heirs-Apparent, for H.R.H. the Prince has been a traveller from early years. He spent the three years 1879-82, in company with his elder brother, in a cruise which took him to many parts of the world, and only last year he,. this time with his consort, had a similar experience, in his memorable visitation of the Empire. The author of this volume has a talent for doing this kind of thing with discretion and taste, and the book, with its interesting letterpress and abundance of illustrations—they number nearly a hundred—will be welcome in many households.
