Austen, Jane—continued.<br />

Hill, Constance. Jane Austen, her homes and her friends.<br />

1902 92 Ag33h<br />

Basis of the book was a pilgrimage made by the author through the<br />

localities in which Jane Austen's life was spent, the homes at Steventon<br />

and Chawton and the more temporary resting-places, many of<br />

them the scenes of her stories, in London, Bath, Southampton,<br />

Lyme Regis, and the lodgings at Winchester in which she died.<br />

Leigh, James Edward Austen-. Memoir of Jane Austen,<br />

to which is added "Lady Susan" and fragments of two<br />

other unfinished tales by Miss Austen. 1906<br />

92 Ag33le<br />

The unfinished stories were left by the author without names. Mr<br />

Leigh has called one "The Watsons" for the sake of having a title<br />

by which to designate it.<br />

Bacon, Francis.<br />

The letters and the life, including all his occasional works,<br />

namely, letters, speeches, tracts, state papers, memorial<br />

devices and all authentic writings not already printed<br />

among his philosophical, literary or professional works;<br />

newly collected and set forth in chronological order<br />

by James Spedding. "v. 186S-90<br />

92 B131<br />

Bainbridge, William.<br />

Harris, Thomas. Life and services of Commodore William<br />

Bainbridge, United States navy. 1837<br />

rg2 Bi65h<br />

Bainbridge (1774-1833) served as commander of the Philadelphia in<br />

the war against Tripoli, 1S01-05. and of the Constitution in 1S12.<br />

Barham, Richard Harris, (pseud. Thomas Ingoklsby).<br />

Barham, Richard Harris Dalton. Life and letters of the<br />

Rev. Richard Harris Barham, author of the Ingoldsby<br />

legends; with a selection from his miscellaneous poems.<br />

2v. 1870 92 B238b<br />

Barham (1788-1S45) owes his honorable rank among English humorists<br />

to his having done one thing supremely well. No English author,<br />

with the exception of Hood, has produced such a body of excellent<br />

rhymed mirth as Barham. The principal authority for his biography<br />

is this life by his son. A book abounding in excellent stories, excellently<br />

told. Condensed from Dictionary of national biography.<br />

Barnum, Phineas Taylor.<br />

Struggles and triumphs; or, Forty years' recollections.<br />

1869 92 B2562<br />

Frankly egotistical autobiography of the American showman (1810-91).<br />

Benton, Joel. Unique story of a marvellous career; life<br />

of Hon. Phineas T. Barnum. 1891 g2 62562b<br />

Beaconsfield, Benjamin Disraeli, earl of.<br />

Correspondence with his sister, 1832-1852. 1886<br />

92 B342<br />

These letters are the merest notes, giving the news of the moment,<br />

literary, social or political. They cover the opening of Disraeli's<br />

London career both as an author and a politician. They are frankly<br />

egotistical, largely a record of the parties he attended and the compliments<br />

paid to his speeches.<br />

Bentley, Richard.<br />

Monk, James Henry, bp. Life of Richard Bentley, D. D.,<br />

with an account of his writings and anecdotes of many<br />

distinguished characters during the period in which he<br />

flourished. 2v. 1833<br />

92 6445m<br />

Richard Bentley (1662-1742) was an English classical scholar and<br />

critic, master of Trinity College, Cambridge, and the author of the<br />

famous "Dissertation on the epistles of Phalaris," over which<br />

a great literary war was waged in England.<br />
