Master DietZ : His Autobiography Translated by BERNARD MIALL Demy %vo. Illustrated About izs. 6d. Meister Johann Dietz was a barber's surgeon who flourished in the latter part of the seventeenth century and lived to see the accession of Frederick the Great. Not only did Master Dietz go through many a hard-fought campaign, he was for some time surgeon aboard a whaler, and his description of Arctic adventures in the seventeenth century is no less absorbing than his tales of war. Nor does the worthy barber forget to chronicle his domestic misfortunes, and we owe to his candid simplicity a remarkable picture of middle-class life on the Continent during one of the most turbulent periods of history. The volume is illustrated by miniature reproductions of many steel and copper-plate engravings illustrating battles, sieges, cities and fortifications.
