Description

Hard to find single issue of the 4 November 1871 number of the London Athenaeum . This copy deftly removed by me yesterday from an old damaged bound volume of the weekly. 19 pages . Some highlights I find include: A long opening the issue essay in review of John Henry Newman's now classical Essays, Critical and Historical . Another essay in review of Patrick Kennedy's The Bardic Stories of Ireland . Two full pages dedicated to an essay on John Morris' T he Condition of the Catholics Under James l: Father Gerard's Narrative (he was a witness) of the [ Elizabethan] Gunpowder Plot . This is an item of some interest. An opening essay of the "Novels of the Week" feature on George Meredith's new novel, The Adventures of Harry Richmond . This is another review of some interest. A review of T.S. Aldis' Text-Book of Geometry . This in defense of Euclid who was under attack at this date. Two columns of interest on the details of the supposed physical location of " The Temple of Diana " by English author, engineer and philologist Hyde Clarke . Much more!
