Angelique of Port Royal, 1591-1661 =E. K. SANDERS=

Demy 8vo, 448 pages, with frontispiece. New and Cheaper Edition. Second Impression. _5s._ net.

This Biography covers a period of deep historic interest. The intrigues of Richelieu, the Anarchy of Anne of Austria's Regency, and the despotism of the great Louis had each their special bearing on the fortunes of Angelique Arnauld. But her life has a further claim on attention, for she was the friend of Francois de Sales and Mme. de Chantal, the inspirer of the religious movement that has Blaise Pascal for its chief exponent, and the leader of the celebrated Nuns and Hermits of Port Royal, whose personal self-devotion, while it proved an effective protest against the moral corruption of the age, won for them the antagonism of the Jesuits.

"The history of the Great Abbess, as unfolded in this most interesting work, will come to those in sympathy with the religion of silence with an irresistible appeal."--_The Times._
