THE WESSEX OF THOMAS HARDY. With upwards of a hundred illustrations and maps by Edmund H. New. Demy 8vo. $6.00 net. Also a limited edition de luxe on Japanese vellum at $20.00 net.
The Nation: "The topography of Mr. Hardy's novels has long been a favorite theme. The whole of southern England has fallen under his spell. He has, as it were, recreated the old Kingdom of Wessex. Mr. New's beautiful drawings reproduce the charm that haunts these wide downs. Mr. Windle is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and it is seldom that a novelist finds so distinguished a devotee to expound his geography and antiquities. The book is one that will delight all antiquarians, and especially those who love rural England and the novels of Thomas Hardy."
