“Messrs. Ward & Lock’s ‘Minerva Library’ comes with particular acceptance. Seven volumes of the series are before us, and they are models of cheapness and general excellence.”—The Star.
“A series of Famous Books published at the cheapest price consistent with excellent binding and a neat and handsome volume for the bookshelves. . . The first volume is a most acceptable book, and ought to have a multitude of readers.”—The Newcastle Chronicle.
“Readers who delight in high-class literature will owe a deep debt of gratitude to Messrs. Ward & Lock.”—The Daily Chronicle.
“Works of this character, so well printed and bound, ought to be widely welcomed, and the Minerva Library has clearly a career before it.”—The Yorkshire Post.
“‘The Minerva Library’ will be hailed with delight, we are sure, by all readers. . . . Will assuredly take as high a place among the cheap issues of sterling literature as its patroness among the goddesses.”—The Weekly Times.

A Leading Literary Critic
wrote as follows to the Editor: “As a friend and admirer of George Borrow, I cannot resist the impulse to write and thank you for the good service you are doing his memory, and the good service you are doing the public, by the issue of your admirable edition of ‘The Bible in Spain.’ This is a period of marvellously cheap reprints, but surely the ‘Minerva Library’ leaves them all behind.”
