the period between 1800 and 1850 and gives a picture of English society among the
prisoners of war detained in France by Napoleon, with a further account of Anglo-
French relations after his downfall, when many English men and women of note
visited the country and British influence was most strongly felt. Many interesting
portraits.

Ravenna; a study, illustrated in colour and line by Harald Sund.
1913. Dent.
"My intention. . .has been to demonstrate the unique importance of Ravenna in

Loon, Hendrik Willem van. 949-2 L85
The fall of the Dutch republic. 1913. Houghton.
"Bibliography," p.415-423.
"The scope of the work is, roughly, the eighteenth century. . .It is a story of gradual
decline, traceable partly to economic circumstances, but most of all, in the author's
opinion, to a change in the character of the Dutch people. . .The two preliminary chapters,
headed respectively 'Political' and 'Economic Development'... are not the least
valuable." Athenceum, 1913.
