BRAILSFORD:
A Tale of West Riding Life.
By JOHN BOWLING.
"'Brailsford' is a capital book, and, to those who can master the Yorkshire dialect, it will give a great deal of pleasure. The excellent teaching it contains makes it a most suitable book for a Sunday School Library. If it once gets into a library, I feel sure it will be in great demand. It is a thorough boy's book, and I wish every boy could read it."—Rev. Charles Garrett.
"Brailsford: a Tale of West Riding Life."—"This story ... is written in a wholesome moral tone, and strikingly portrays the temptations which assail young men in the business life of a large town. The hero of the story is a draper's apprentice, who, by steadfast fidelity to duty, rises to success; and the incidents are related with vigour, introducing the reader to some curious phases of town life ... the book may be safely placed in the hands of youths about to enter the commercial world."—Leeds Mercury.
"There is about this book a simplicity which charms, and an interest that will carry the reader through every page. As pointing a moral, and affording a stimulus to honest work, despite adverse circumstances, the little volume will be of great value, and we trust it will have a wide sale."—Wharfedale and Airedale Observer.
"Our readers will recognise this as a reprint of a story which appeared in serial form in the Wesleyan Methodist Magazine. At the time of its original appearance we noticed it from time to time. In its new and more convenient form it will greatly delight all lovers of the racy Yorkshire dialect, and will at the same time prove instructive. It is a story of the good and idle apprentice type, well told and satisfactorily ended. The moral, of course, is unexceptional.... We heartily commend this venture."—Methodist Recorder.
"'Brailsford,' by John Bowling, is a tale of West Riding life, written with animation and a keenly observant eye to various phases of character that manifest themselves in rural districts. There is much humorous dialogue in the book, bringing out several traits of Yorkshire life excellently. There are, moreover, pathetic passages in this story, and the author does not fail to inculcate some useful and noble lessons."—Methodist Times.
"... A most thrilling story.... We have the utmost pleasure in recommending the book to our readers as one well worthy of a place in every home.... The lessons which it sets forth are bound to make a deep impression on every reader. We therefore earnestly wish the author every success."—Hunslet News.
