Mr. HAGGARD has added to his Report an introduction dealing with the question generally, and with arguments that have been advanced against certain points in his scheme. The book will be illustrated with photographs taken by Miss ANGELA RIDER HAGGARD, who acted as her father's private secretary throughout his journey.

W. H. Wilkins.

Mrs. Fitzherbert and George IV.

By W. H. WILKINS, M.A. F.S.A.; Author of 'The Love of an Uncrowned Queen,' &c. With numerous Portraits and other Illustrations. 2 Vols. 8vo. [In the press. Maria Fitzherbert (1756-1837), a Roman Catholic lady of good birth, privately married George Prince of Wales (afterwards George IV.) in 1785. She separated from him in 1795, when he married Caroline of Brunswick. She returned to him in 1800 by permission of her Church. She finally separated from him in 1811, and died in 1837, a few months before the accession of Queen Victoria. Her marriage was twice denied in the House of Commons, and never publicly acknowledged, during her life. This book, which is written with the approval and assistance of the descendants of Mrs. Fitzherbert's family and friends, gives the text of the documents which Mrs. Fitzherbert reserved in 1833 for the purpose of proving her marriage. These materials are now published for the first time by special permission, and place the fact beyond doubt. The book will also contain a large number of other unpublished papers and letters of great interest.
