This article focuses on several books. Some of them are as follows: "Provence. From Minstrels to the Machine," by Ford Madox Fox. Ford celebrates in this loose-jointed and delightful book not the French Riviera, with its "mechanical and monotonous pleasures," but the immemorial land which includes it and which will outlive it as Provence has outlived every other invasion or improvement during twenty-five hundred years. "Silver Collar Boy," by Constance Wright. Constance Wright's brief novel of eighteenth-century England features Pompey, a small blackamoor slave imported from the West Indies to serve as page to a London belle, whose vanity finally costs him his trivial, decorative life.
