Outlook:—"A charming book; and a piece of literature as well."
By T. BARON RUSSELL
BORLASE AND SON
Crown 8vo. 6s.
Bookman:—"Judged as literature, we know of no novel published this year that is likely to rank higher than 'Borlase and Son.' The people are intensely human; the life it describes is every-day life; its events grip the attention and haunt the memory, as things do that have really happened."
Vanity Fair:—"Demands attention as a very notable book."
Daily Chronicle:—"An author who thoroughly knows what he is writing about…. The details of the life in the Peckham draper's are made interesting to the reader by the sheer force of their realism…. Borlase senior is an admirable piece of character drawing."
St. James's Gazette:—"Mr. Russell has evidently learned his subject from inside, and he has a ready pen as well as the real faculty of making his reader see what he himself has seen."
Morning Leader:—"The real originality of the book lies in the author's remarkable knowledge of, and insight into, the life which he describes, and his power of making his personages live and move."
