Daily Telegraph.—"It is very seldom that a writer can treat with such wit and humour, blended with the most delicate fancy, such unpromising subjects as are included in this collection. In the ordinary events of the moment, in the most prosaic institutions, he finds something wonderful or something bizarre: from the dreariest of subjects he draws matter for quiet laughter."

Pall Mall.—"A pretty wit.... Mr Beerbohm has clear vision, discrimination, and like the best of paradox makers, always a fund of good sense."

Illustrated London News.—"He is altogether delightful in his whimsical moods.... 'More' is a book to buy and to turn to at odd moments."

Scotsman.—"Readers who have grappled with 'The Works of Max Beerbohm' will stagger beneath the announcement that 'More' has come from the same hand.... It is not so much what he is talking about that matters in the case of this author, as what he says. He writes oddly, but is always amusing: a pleasant and readable exposition of the London way of looking at life."

Referee.—"Not long ago 'The Works of Max Beerbohm' were published in one slim volume. Polite literature has now been enriched by the same author's 'More.' ... Maximum Superbus."

Daily Telegraph.—"When some three years ago the public were informed that they could buy 'The Works of Max Beerbohm' for a small sum, those who had not followed contemporary letters very closely imagined that the long-forgotten volumes of some bygone author were offered for sale in the lump, and scented a bargain with which to fill the gaps in their bookshelves. In the small book which comprised 'the works' they got their bargain. They have now a chance of acquiring 'More.'"

Academy.—"Mr Beerbohm can think and observe and write. He has the uncommon gift of seeing clearly the other side of things. He can stand aside impartially and watch contemporary life with the eye of the historian: his fastidiousness, when disciplined, is exquisite; his appreciation of the best is sound."
