DOUOLAS SLADEN in the Queen. " This is indisputably a most valuable contribution to the 

 literature of the eighteenth century. It is a veritable storehouse of society gossip, the 

 art criticism, and the mots of famous people." 



Academy and Literature. "The effect consists in no particular passages, but in the total 

 impression, the sense of atmosphere, and the general feeling that we are being introduced 

 into the very society in which the writer moved." 



Daily News. " To Miss Alice Gaussen is due the credit of sorting out the vast collection of 

 correspondence which is here presented to the public. . . . Her industry is indefatigable, 

 and her task has been carried out with completeness. The notes are full of interesting 

 items ; the introduction is exhaustive ; and the collection of illustrations enhances the 

 value of the book."

 Prose ' than the poet whose curiosa felicitas is so close akin to Stevenson's own charm." 



Globe. "The opening Elegy on R. L. Stevenson includes some tender and touching 

 passages, and has throughout the merits of sincerity and clearness."

The Times. " . . . the leading features of the sonnets are the writer's intense sympathy 

 with human life in generaj and with young life in particular ; his humour, his music, and, 

 in a word, the quality which 'leaves a melody afloat upon the brain, a savour on the 

 mental palate.'" 



Bookman. "The Memoir, by Mr. W. A. Gill, is a sympathetic sketch of an earnest and 

 lovable character ; and the critical estimate, by J. Addington Symonds, is a charmingly- 

 written and suggestive essay."

 an individual life, and contains, with a consideration of the nature of shyness, a plea for 

 a kindlier judgment of the inveterate case. 



Daily Mail. "Mr. Leith has written a very beautiful book, and perhaps the publisher's 

 tJ claim that this will be a new classic is not too bold."
