“It aims high, and it hits the mark.”—Literary World.
“Books prepared for girls are too often so weak and twaddly as to be an insult to the intellect of girlhood. This new work is an exception.”—Daily Review (Edinburgh).
“Worthy of a somewhat longer analysis than we shall be able to give it.... Parents will be benefited by its perusal as well as their daughters ... the more so that it is not written in a dry homiletic style, but with a living kindness and sympathy.”—Queen.
“A long list of books is given both for study and amusement. This list is selected with care and without prejudice, and should prove a great assistance to girls in doubt what to read.... It is a sensible and well-written book, full of information and wholesome thoughts for and about girls.”—St. James’s Budget.
“Home duties, amusement, social claims and appropriate literature, are subjects successively treated, and treated with both knowledge and sound judgment.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
