" Mr. Sturgis's new novel shows his refinement to the best advantage. ... It is written 

 with genuine satirical humour and will keep a smile of quiet pleisure constantly on its reader's 

 lips. Mr. Sturgis's dialogue is always witty, and in this charming tale it has many happy 

 epigrams. " — Scotsman. 



' ' Mr. Sturgis's story is bright and lively, and it holds the attention of the reader from cover 

 to cover. . . . His dialogue is crisp and witty, and a shining vein of good-humotu-ed satire 

 runs through it." — Observer.

"It is long since a more interesting book was written upon a purely practical and 

 industrial subject. From end to end it is thoroughly readable, and appeals as strongly to the 

 casual reader who seeks only amusement as to the more sedate person who needs it for 

 reference."- St. James's Gazette. 



" A volume which, for many, will have the glamour and fascination of a romance, while it 

 will always be an authority on the topic it deals with." — Globe.
