By Frederick the Greats Sister Princess Wilhelmine of Prussia.
Although idolizing Frederick, and foreseeing the greatness he would
one day attain, Wilhelminewas nevertheless not blind to his
failings. How she suffered with him and through him are most
touchingly told in this latest translation of the book.

As one of the world's most ancient man-made items, fabric has been
with us for centuries. Yet today, when it comes to choosing fabrics
for our interiors, most of us are anxious to avoid expensive
mistakes, and need inspiration, help and practical advice to
influence our choices. We want to know if green looks better than
blue, whether plain is preferable to pattern but we also need to
know the wear and usability of materials when chosen for a curtain,
an armchair or a cushion. An understanding of fibres is therefore
essential to understanding fabrics, and in this book Chris Halsey
and Wilhelmine van Aerssen, both experts in their field, guide you
through the world of soft furnishings. The book contains a layman's
guide to wool, linen, cotton, silk and the more complex man-made
fibres, with a second section explaining their production
techniques. A third section shows the reader how to use fabric in
the home to give the amateur interior decorator the confidence to
start experimenting. Beautiful photographs from top brands such as
Designers Guild, Osborne & Little, Nina Campbell, William
Yeoward and Nobilis not only make this book a highly practical
handbook but also a beautiful book to use and look at again and
again.

This biography of Dom Pedro's reign tells how he met the problems
arising from relations with the neighboring South American states,
the premature political system of his own country, the struggle
between church and state, the abolition of slavery, and the
fostering of education. He died in exile after ruling Brazil for
nearly fifty years but is ranked among the finest personalities of
his time. Originally published in 1937. A UNC Press Enduring
