“A good book on a most interesting theme.”—Times.
“A truly interesting and most affecting memoir. Irving’s Life ought to have a niche in every gallery of religious biography. There are few lives that will be fuller of instruction, interest, and consolation.”—Saturday Review.
“Mrs. Oliphant’s Life of Irving supplies a long-felt desideratum. It is copious, earnest and eloquent.”—Edinburgh Review.
XXXI.—ST. OLAVE’S.
“This charming novel is the work of one who possesses a great talent for writing, as well as experience and knowledge of the world. ‘St. Olave’s’ is the work of an artist. The whole book is worth reading.”—Athenæum.
XXXII.—SAM SLICK’S AMERICAN HUMOUR.
“Dip where you will into the lottery of fun, you are sure to draw out a prize.”—Post.
XXXIII.—CHRISTIAN’S MISTAKE.
BY THE AUTHOR OF “JOHN HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN.”
“A more charming story, to our taste, has rarely been written. The writer has hit off a circle of varied characters all true to nature, and has entangled them in a story which keeps us in suspense till its knot is happily and gracefully resolved. Even if tried by the standard of the Archbishop of York, we should expect that even he would pronounce ‘Christian’s Mistake’ a novel without a fault.”—Times.
