Globe. " Especially noteworthy for the lightness and delicacy of the 

 artist's touch, and the felicity of her colouring as appropriate to the 

 scenery it represents. The text is a capable accompaniment, supplying 

 much information of a useful and interesting character." 



Standard. "'The Italian Lakes' have, perhaps, never been more 

 superbly depicted in all the richness of glowing colour than in the 

 illustrations to this attractive fine art volume. We take up the book, and 

 in a moment London and all its fogs are forgotten, and we seem to escape, 

 as by magic, from the madding crowd, to one of the fairest regions in 

 the world. . . . Mr. Bagot has quick eyes for the picturesque, and writes 

 with admirable restraint in the romantic mood." 



Evening Standard. " Mr. Bagot reveals that skill in description that 

 makes his work at once fascinating and distinctive. . . . Miss Du Cane's 

 tastefully reproduced water-colours are among the most pleasing of any in 

 the whole series. They reveal strength and delicacy, and have the great 

 merit of giving one a true notion of the actual and normal colour of the 

 places." 



Aberdeen Journal. " Miss Du Cane's water-colours are most charming. 

 She has caught perfectly the peaceful spirit of the beautiful scenes she 

 represents. She revels in the flowers and the brightness and gaiety of it 

 all. . . . The letterpress by Mr. Bagot is very good quite the kind of 

 thing that is wanted in the books of this series." 



World. " Mr. Bagot's descriptions will give the reader who has never 

 seen this lovely part of Europe a just and vivid idea of its beauties, while 

 Miss Du Cane's work does the same for him by means of another and 

 a beautiful medium. Her pictures are charming, and the reproduction 

 would seem to be perfect. ' ' 



Outlook. " A good example of the series. Miss Du Cane's work has 

 atmosphere and grace, and the reproduction is as good as it can be in the 

 present stage of the art. Mr. Bagot also is a discriminating and useful 

 guide. ... As a companion for a visit to the lakes, and a memento of it 

 afterwards, nothing could be better than this book. ' '
