Стр. 10 - While the latter records her impressions and recollections of Hungarian life, we have to thank M.

Стр. 21 - KATE'S BRITISH HOMES AND FOREIGN WANDERINGS. 2 vols., post 8vo, 21s. bound. " Unrivalled as these volumes are, considered as portfolios of aristocratic sketches, they are not less interesting on account of the romantic history with which the sketches are interwoven.
