“This story presents a number of vivid and very charming pictures. Indeed, the whole book is charming. It is interesting in both character and story, and thoroughly good of its kind.”—_Saturday Review._
“This last ‘Chronicle of Carlingford’ not merely takes rank fairly beside the first which introduced us to ‘Salem Chapel,’ but surpasses all the intermediate records. Phœbe, Junior, herself is admirably drawn.”—_Academy._
“A work of remarkable merit and interest, which will, we doubt not, become the most popular English history of Marie Antoinette.”—_Spectator._
“‘Sir Gibbie’ is a book of genius.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._
“This book has power, pathos, and humour.”—_Athenæum._
BY THE AUTHOR OF “JOHN HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN.”
“‘Young Mrs. Jardine’ is a pretty story, written in pure English.”—_The Times._
“There is much good feeling in this book. It is pleasant and wholesome.”—_Athenæum._
“A very readable story. The author has well conceived the purpose of high-class novel-writing, and succeeded in no small measure in attaining it. There is plenty of variety, cheerful dialogue, and general ‘verve’ in the book.”—_Athenæum._
“In ‘It was a Lover and his Lass,’ we admire Mrs. Oliphant exceedingly. It would be worth reading a second time, were it only for the sake of one ancient Scottish spinster, who is nearly the counterpart of the admirable Mrs. Margaret Maitland.”—_Times._
LIV.—THE REAL LORD BYRON—THE STORY OF THE POET’S LIFE.
“Mr. Jeaffreson comes forward with a narrative which must take a very important place in Byronic literature; and it may reasonably be anticipated that this book will be regarded with deep interest by all who are concerned in the works and the fame of this great English poet.”—_The Times._
“It is scarcely necessary to sign ‘Through the Long Night,’ for the practised pen of Mrs. Lynn Linton stands revealed on every page of it. It is like so many of its predecessors, hard and bright, full of entertaining reflection and brisk development of plot.”—_Saturday Review._
