PRESS OPINIONS.
“The author of a ‘Month in a Dandi’ has a facile pen, and is evidently a shrewd observer. Her book differs from many belonging to the same class by reason of its freshness, its spontaneity, and its abundance of interesting detail. Moreover, the book is written with a purpose. ‘If by perusing these pages the reader obtains a clearer view of England’s attitude to her great dependency, if his prepossessions against ‘black men’ and the ‘poor heathen’ should melt away in any degree, if the assumption that what is good for England must necessarily be so for India receives a slight shake, the writer will feel rewarded.’ To these conclusions one is almost certain to come when the experiences of Miss Bremner’s ‘Month in a Dandi’ are recalled. There would be no end to our quotations were we to reproduce all the passages we have marked as being interesting. Miss Bremner is always in good spirits, and writes with ease, and evidently con amore.”—Birmingham Daily Gazette.
“Miss Bremner’s book describes a woman’s wanderings in Northern India, and it is written from adequate knowledge, with shrewd discernment, and a pleasing amount of vivacity.—Speaker.
