A companion volume.
Doges, Conquerors, Painters, Men of Letters.
"Mrs. Oliphant's hand has not lost its cunning. 'The Makers of Venice' is even more delightful than 'The Makers of Florence.' The writing is bright and animated, the research thorough, the presentation of Venetian life brilliantly vivid."—Blackwood's Magazine (Edinburgh).
Her Saints, Kings, and Scholars.
"History and tradition, fact and romance, the changing characteristics of the old and new town, and the personality of the women of distinction and the men of power and genius whose lives centred there,—all get a place in Mrs. Oliphant's enticing pages."—Boston Beacon.

The Place and the People.
By Grace King

"Balcony Stories", etc.

"It is a delightful book, and is beautifully illustrated with a great host of effective pictures, by pencil and camera. . . . Few people could have done the work so well, none could have done it better than Miss King."—New Orleans Picayune.
"It is neither a history nor a guide-book, but it is likely to be more entertaining than either to most readers, and many will be stimulated to carry their study of the subject further. Miss King knows her New Orleans thoroughly and has given us a most fascinating book."—Springfield Republican.
"Miss King's book is rich in attractiveness, and it ought to attain a wide circulation among the people whose history it tells so accurately and so charmingly. The book is handsomely printed and the illustrations are a creditable and striking feature."—New Orleans States.
"'New Orleans: the Place and the People' is a work which will appeal to Northern as well as Southern readers, and for this excellent work too high praise cannot be given."—Chicago Evening Post.
"One of the most readable books that has appeared for years. . . . This is a triumph of literary art, and when it is added that the pictures are as clever as the text, it will be seen that the book is noteworthy."—San Francisco Chronicle.
