EXTRACTS FROM SOME OF THE PRESS NOTICES OF OTHER WORKS BY RICHARD DAVEY


THE NINE-DAYS’ QUEEN: The Life of Lady Jane Grey.
Illustrated.————[London: Methuen & Co.——10s. 6d.

“Mr. Davey in this scholarly volume—it rests on original research—tells without rhetorical appeal the moving story of the poor girl’s fate.... The book is written with lightly handled knowledge and conspicuous charm.”—The Standard.

“Diving deep into historical records, Mr. Davey has given us not only a most fascinating narrative of the chief conspiracies, but also some excellent character sketches.... A most interesting volume, which may be read by the general reader with profit, and will be heartily welcomed by students who wish to arrive at a fuller knowledge of that extraordinary period.”—The Globe.

“A fascinating narrative.... The work is one calculated to lure indolent readers into perusing something of more permanent worth than third-rate fiction.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

“Mr. Richard Davey’s exhaustive and admirably written history.”—Morning Post.

“The story emerges clearly through an extraordinary amount of anecdote and personal detail. The detail is never superfluous or indifferent. The narrative and description alike hold the reader’s attention.... The wealth of this new telling lies in the careful psychology and wealth of detail which we have praised. Mr. Davey’s story is essentially exact....”—The AthenÆum.

“Mr. Davey has presented his tragic materials with fulness and clearness.... Among the best of historical biographies.... The work is, indeed, far better than most of the memoirs of this kind, and should have more than a season’s success. It is evidently the fruit of long and careful study, and is admirably presented.”—Daily Telegraph.

(Extract from a long review of this work by M. T. de Wyzewa in the Revue des Deux Mondes for April 15, 1910).

“La haute portÉe de l’ouvrage de M. Davey lui vient surtout de ce que, aprÈs avoir ÉcartÉ ces fables que l’imagination populaire a amoncelÉes pendant plusieurs siÈcles, et sous lesquelles la personne authentique de la petite reine improvisÉe nous apparaÎt enfin, pour la premiÈre fois, dans son Émouvante simplicitÉ, l’auteur s’est attachÉ À Évoquer devant nous les vigoureuses et sinistres figures des acteurs principaux du drame. Jamais encore, je crois, aucun historien n’a reconstituÉ avec autant de relief et de couleur pittoresque le tableau des intrigues ourdies autour du trÔne du vieil Henry VIII et de son pitoyable successeur Edouard VI.”

THE TOWER OF LONDON. With Fourteen Illustrations.

[London: Methuen & Co. 10s. 6d.

“The grim annals of the Tower of London have already been treated by various historians, but there is still room for an accurate, yet animated, work such as Mr. Richard Davey has produced. His topography is carefully done, and he has a nice eye for architecture. Mr. Davey sets forth the facts with spirit; we get, indeed, a singularly complete record.”—Morning Post.

“Mr. Davey’s competent and readable book will rank among the best upon its subject. Mr. Davey has two conspicuous qualifications for a work of this kind; he is careful about his authorities and he writes uncommonly well.... In writing of the Tudor period Mr. Davey is at his best. He shows the true historian’s gift for dissecting motive and probing to the heart of a situation, and he keeps the interest continually quivering with the spirit of suggestion and interpretation.... A book packed with historical interest.”—Daily Telegraph.

“Mr. Davey’s book is one which no visitor to the Tower, or any one interested in that grim building, should fail to read. He writes pleasantly; the wonderful story he has to tell is related with full appreciation of its dramatic possibilities. Mr. Davey is at his best in relating the tragedies of the Tower.”—Evening Standard.

THE PAGEANT OF LONDON. With Illustrations.

[London: Methuen & Co. 7s. 6d. per volume,
or Two volumes, 15s.

“Mr. Davey marks London’s development up to the present situation by many typical and striking scenes.... His work is an admirable example of discriminating research.”—Morning Post.

“Mr. Davey has combined the method of the impressionist with those of the historian and anecdotist, and the result is one that is admirable.... It would be easy to quote innumerable passages of admirable description, of well-told historical incidents, of pleasant anecdotes.... A deeply interesting book, quite unlike the conventional topographical works.”—Daily Telegraph.

“Replete with information, presented with a considerable amount of literary skill.”—AthenÆum.

THE SULTAN AND HIS SUBJECTS. Second Edition.

[London: Chatto & Windus. 7s. 6d.

“The best book on Turkey that has yet appeared ... a book that goes to the root of the political troubles in Turkey with directness and insight.... Mr. Davey’s book must be read by every one who has eyes to look beyond parochial politics.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

“The description of the Reform Movement in Turkey is especially interesting.... This is a book which well repays perusal, and is the more interesting at a time when the once moribund Sick Man of the East looms so largely on the European horizon.”—Morning Post.
