FADETTE. Translated by Jane Minot Sedgwick, Ellery Sedgwick, and Charlotte C. Johnston. With etched frontispieces by Abot and an etched portrait of Titian. 16mo. Cloth, extra, gilt top. Each, $1.25. Studies of rustic life, of which "La Petite Fadette," "FranÇois le Champi," and "La Mare au Diable" are the chief, and which some of her admirers regard as her greatest works.—George Saintsbury, in Chambers' CyclopÆdia. No description is needed of works so well known as "La Petite Fadette," "La Mare au Diable," and "FranÇois le Champi." Like Wordsworth, with the inward eye she sees into the life of things.—EncyclopÆdia Britannica. "The Master Mosaic Workers" is one of the most delightful of historical novels, and gives a vivid picture of the life in Venice at the time when Titian, Tintoretto, and Giorgione were in their zenith, and when the famous mosaics which still adorn St. Mark's were being made.—Literary World. |
