It is a compilation of 'good things' not witty or even humorous things, but wise, tender, and beautiful things. Its great fault is the lack of individuality in its setting and its characters. The setting is charming, but it is not what it professes to be; the characters are well-bred and interesting, but they are all alike.

He is, in fact, a well-known authority on Peru. The book is filled with epithets rather than calm judgments, and is so violently partisan as to be unworthy credence. It might well have been written by a native Peruvian; and, if nothing more can be said on their side of the case, it will only confirm the impression which has been hitherto received, that the Chilians gained the victory because they were the superior race."

It is indeed only a fragment in the hand-writing of her secretary Nau, and it is not written in Mary's name, but in the style of an independent history. There can, however, be no reas onable doubt that it was composed entirely from information supplied by herself at the time the author was in her service; and this being so, whatever view may be taken of Mary's character, it is clearly impossible to neglect what she says in her own defence. Yet, strange to say, this remarkable fragment has existed for nearly three centuries in what was almost all along the best known and the most accessible collection of miss. in the whole kingdom, namely the Cottonian Library, and no one until within the last few years took the trouble to decipher it and tell the world what was in it. The book contains other materials bearing upon the subject from the archives of the Vatican; and the information thus brought together is further elucidated in a lengthy bu: readable and interesting introduction, such as we might be sure to have from a veteran student of English and Scottish history like Father Stevenson." — Athenæum, Apr. 21.
