 Studies,' etc.

'An extremely agreeable volume, in the production of which Mr. Tollemache's rare talents 

 for the difficult art which he practises claim a creditably large and important share.' Literature. 



' Reams have been written about Mr. Gladstone within the last few weeks, but no sketch of 

 him can approach in vividness and veracity such records as Mr. Tollemache preserves to us of 

 his casual conversations upon everything under the sun.' Daily Chronicle. 



'In these pages everybody, wha'.ever his political opinions, will find much to interest him, <br 

 the " talks " cover an enormous amount of ground, from the human conception of time and place 

 to the merits and demerits of " Dizzy." ' Globe. 



' Mr. Tollemache is one of the wisest as well as most chaming writers left to us. His 

 " Talks with Mr. Gladstone" is probably the best revelation of the inner mind of the great man 

 that has yet been published.' Liverpool Post.

' A per'ectly delightful book of gossip about men and women of historical importance.' Truth. 



' Mrs. Simpson has something interesting to say about nearly every woman of note in the 

 middle portion of the century. The whole book is good reading.' Athen&um. 



' This is a delightful book. A long succession of familiar names flit across Mrs. Simpson's 

 pages, and she has something interesting or amusing to tell us about all of them.' Guardian. 



'There is not a dull page in it from first to last, and the present generation will have no excuse

Letters of Mary Sibylla Holland. 



Selected and Edited by her Son, BERNARD HOLLAND. 

 Second Edition. One vol., crown 8vo., 7s. 6d. net. 



'A very charming col'ection of letters. Mrs. Holland's letters not only make her readers love 

 herself, they also make her correspondents living friends whose characters and lives we may well 

 desire to know more of.' Guardian. 



' We feel sure that Mrs. Holland's letters will attract many readers by the force of that power 

 of sympathy with which the writer was endowed. It is as a reflection of human nature, with its 

 almost startling depths of devotion and love, that we must judge them.' Spectator. 



'This book is one of a rare type in English literature. For its counterpart we must tun to 

 French memoirs, to the touching story of " Regit d'une Sceur," the Life of Madame Swetchine 

 or the Journals of Eugenie de Guerin.' Literature.
