THE SPECTATOR says:—

“A book which is both instructive and entertaining.... The story is relieved by various amusing anecdotes, and, more seriously, by notices of some distinguished foreigners who have made use of the Academy, the Prince Imperial being, perhaps, the best known.... Excellent illustrations.”
