SPECTATOR.—“A volume of clever sketches. Indeed, there is more than cleverness in them. There is feeling, often expressed with no little subtlety and skill, and plenty of humour. Some of the stories are of the strangest.”
SATURDAY REVIEW.—“Mr. Thomas Hardy did well to encourage.”
LITERARY WORLD.—“Mr. Pretor possesses the panoply of a successful writer unless we are much mistaken.”
