6 Messrs. METHUEN’S LIST

Baring Gould. A GARLAND OF COUNTRY SONG:
English Folk Songs with their traditional melodies. Collected and
arranged by S. BARING GouLD and H. FLEETWOOD SHEPPARD.
Royal 8vo. 6s.

In collecting West of England airs for ‘Songs of the West,’ the editors came across
a number of songs and airs of considerable merit, which were known throughout
England and could not justly be regarded as belonging to Devon and Cornwall.
Some fifty of these are now given to the world.

Oliphant. THE FRENCH RIVIERA. By Mrs. OLIPHANT
and F, R. OLIPHANT. With Illustrations and Maps. Crown 8vo.
6s.

A volume dealing with the French Riviera from Toulon to Mentone. Without fall-
ing within the guide-book category, the book will supply some useful practical
information, while occupying itself chiefly with descriptive and historical matter.
A special feature will be the attention directed to those portions of the Riviera,
which, though full of interest and easily accessible from many well-frequented
spots, are generally left unvisited by English travellers, such as the Maures
Mountains and the St. Tropez district, the country lying between Cannes, Grasse
and the Var, and the magnificent valleys behind Nice. There will be several
original illustrations.

George. BRITISH BATTLES. By H. B. GrorcE, M.A,,
Fellow of New College, Oxford. With numerous Plans. Crowz
8v0. 65.

This book, by a well-known authority on military history, will be an important
contribution to the literature of the subject. All the great battles of English
history are fully described, connecting chapters carefully treat of the changes
wrought by new discoveries and developments, and the healthy spirit of patriotism
is nowhere absent from the pages.

Shedlock. THE PIANOFORTE SONATA: Its Origin and
Development. By J.S. SHEDLOCK. Crown 8v0. 55.

This is a practical and not unduly technical account of the Sonata treated histori-
cally. It contains several novel features, and an account of various works little
known to the English public.

Jenks, ENGLISH LOCAL GOVERNMENT. By E JENKs,
M.A., Professor of Law at University College, Liverpool. Crowz
8v0. 25. 6d.

A short account of Local Government, historical and explanatory, which will appear
very opportunely.
