Wrapped in even greater mystery than the life of the great Rumford h i m s e l f is the s t o r y of his daughter, Sarah, a woman abandoned in childhood by her father but who had within her his genius. It was quite within her own right that she became a Countess. 'The Countess' tells her story --and through it, her father's, as well. Sarah Thompson's was a life long years and rich with event both singular and sensational. Through the glittering worlds of London, Paris and Munich she moved with ease in the realms of state and of the heart. In them were adventure, political intrigue, and high passion. In this book March Cost, with her remarkable understanding of the psychological and spiritual facets of vibrant and magnificent women, re-creates from actual fact and her own enormous skill a story that brangs to her many readers not only a fascinating novel in the tradition of "I, Rachel," but the first account of one of history's most beguiling and little known women. "The American Way of Death" by Jessica Mitford. Jessica Mitford's explosive and astonishing book makes public the fantastic inner workings of our funeral industry. The grotesqueries we glimpsed in Evelyn Waugh's novel, "The Loved One," pale before the actuality as Miss Mitford disclosed the bizarre facts behind the average American funeral, coast to coast. She brings into the open every aspect of the burj#i business. Its/psychological strategies: tjje^ carefully choreographed walk through the "Casket Selection Room," and other devices by which the bereaved is maneuvered into buying ur. expensive funeral. N The brilliance ot Jessica Mitford's writing, demonstrated in her celebrated book about the Mitford family, "Daughters and Rebels," combines with relentless research to bring to light a phenomenon too long hedged by taboo. Miss Mitford has written a valuable, fascinating and, oddly enough, inspiring book --an outburst of sanity, crashing through the sanctimonious hush that has kept one of America's most hard-sell industries from the public scrutiny. '•Anti-Slavery" - The Crusade for Freedom in America by D. L. Dumond. y Believing all men to be created equal, we plundered peaceful nations, hunted men like wild beasts, and advertised and sold them with cattle and hogs. Believing • freedom to be the sacred right of every man, we made nearly four million slaves. This work of dedicated scholarship and immense learning reveals with extraordinary force the truth behind the Civil War. Year by year, slavery in the United States became more sinister. It contaminated the body politic, it tainted all institutional life, it became a colossus of arbitrary power and greed. On these pages you will see tional conventions, legislative halls, courtrooms, churches, schools, in the hearts of men, and finally on the battlefiled. You will see ill manners turn to brutality.]'1 printing presses are destf&yedi schools closed, churches, private homes and public buildings burned, the mails pillaged, and the men and women who before the Civil War courageously fought that ail America might be free:$The mystic John Woolman, tailor from New Jersey; the distinguised Philadelphia physician, Benjamin Rush; the most remarkable Samual Doak; the brilliant Denmark Vesey; the lonely, wandering saddle maker, Benjamin Lundy; the fearless Angelina Grimke. This life work of the notable American historian, Dwight L. Dumond, is a major testament for our time, essential reading for everyone interested in justice and equality under the law. The Declaration of Independence assumes new dignity and importance. Birriey, Garrison, Lundy, Weld, and a dozen other abolitionists emerge as superior in integrity, patriotism and vision. Tricky legalistic defenses fall before the frankness of the defenders of humanp rights. Natural right, the equality of man, and the higher law come back with pristine gusto. A basic text in the history of race relations and the origins of the Civil War. "Antislavery" tells of belief, betrayl, and glory in the crusade for freedom in America. "The Hat on the Bed" by John O'Hara. In his introduction to the new "Modern Library Giant volume 49 Stories," by John O'Hara, John Hutchens writes: "They toss that word 'master' around pretty easily these days ...What is the word, then, for a writer who, knowing just what he is doing, and doing it wi^i precision, authority and ever increasing range and insight, has created through the years a body of fiction not equaled by any fellow countryman of his now living? "'The word, I venture to say, is still 'master,' but restored to its old dignity and worth, with all that says about a writer's dedication to his art...That JoHh O'Hara is such a writer it seems to me impossible to doubt.. "49 Stories" is a double volume, composed of "Assembly" and "The Cape Cod Lighter," published, respectively, two yea^S and one year before "The Hat on the Bed," which now gives additional authority to Mr. Hutchens' judgment. "Lady on the Coin" by Margaret Cambell Barnes. Daughter of a capable and unpretentious Scots physician, luxury-loving Frances Stuart was nevertheless not willing to forget that she was a distant cousin to King Charles II, the banished king of England. And once the king had embraced her by mistake, believing her to be his long-exiled sister, he could not willingly forget her, for Frances was the most beautiful young loyalist to be found in the court of France. After Charles' triumphant restoration, when the English riverside estates pleasure-gardens and playhouses re-opened and the conduits were running wine, it was not difficult for find a place for the .girl a* fourth Maid-of-honor to Charles' new Spanish wife. Madame Sophia Stuart had worried because her daughter had been too assiduously attended by lecherous 0I5I King Philippe of France; but her move into the household of the impressionable Charles was, in effect, a;>step from the frying pan ir|to the fire, as Frances herself soon discovered. Court intrigufc in England was a game of wits in which one's fortunes were the important stake. Reputations were a secondary consideration for everybody but Frances, who had the affrontery to fall in love with a nobleman out of the king's favor. How the court's most eligible butterfly--the king's choice as model for Britannia on the coins of his realm-- managed to juggle the vicious contrivances of the court gossips and the jealous watchfulness of the king's most durable mist ress, Barbara Castlemaine, against the importunities of the ardent king himself, makes a tale rich in the nuances of character and passion Margaret Barnes' readers have iieen accustomed to expect. Her collaborator, Hebe Elsna, is the author of a number of novels and biographies published in England, of which the most recent is "Unwanted Wife: A Defense of Mn>. Charles Dickens." "The Conquistadors" by Patricia de Fuentes. These fascinatnig eye-witness accounts by cortes and the Missionaries and soldiers who accompanied him on his expeditions in the New World give a unique sense of immediacy to an exciting period in the history of America. With the exception of Cortes letter, all these documents have been either translated for the first time or generally unavailable to the public. They provide a markable reading experience and through them we are able to see through Spanish eyes, the fabulous realm of Montezuma. Patricia de Fuentes' introduction and notes set these documents into their proper historical perspective. "The New How to Build Hot Rods" by Eugene Jaderquist.
