The Guardian.—"A remarkable life-sketch, which is as interesting as it is curious. The book is very readable and amusing as well as interesting. It is impossible to close it without a feeling of thankfulness that one deep blot that rests upon the past has been thoroughly wiped away."
The Pall Mall Gazette.—"The book, which is enormously interesting, whether viewed as a human document or as a romance, is the autobiography of Mr. George Elson, who began his career in the first year of Queen Victoria's reign as a 'climbing boy.'"
HAPPINESS: Its Pursuit and Attainment
By Rev. W. J. Kelly. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. [Second Edition.
The Tablet.—"The author has combined a systematic treatment which reflects the training of the schools with a freshness and originality of exposition which is all his own, while the whole work has a literary flavour which bespeaks the scholar and—in the best sense of the term—the man of letters…. With much fervour and force of language the author shows how in the beatific vision the desires of those whose natural inclinations lead them to seek for riches, honours, power, beauty of form or harmony of sound, wisdom, peace, love, joy, will severally and collectively be satisfied. We most cordially recommend this excellent work to the notice and the use of clergy and laity alike."
The Daily Express.—"The work of a ripe scholar and thinker. Dignity and restraint are marked features of a book that is eloquent and lofty and full of freshness, suggestion and truth."
APPEARANCES
HOW TO KEEP THEM UP ON A LIMITED INCOME
By Mrs. Alfred Praga, Author of "Dinners of the Day," "Starting Housekeeping," &c. Crown 8vo, cloth, 1s. [New Edition.
The Queen.—"Her teaching possesses a distinct value; her counsels are distinctly counsels of perfection. 'Appearances' is both suggestive and valuable; one welcomes the book as an attempt to prove that a limited income does not necessarily entail slipshod housekeeping or coarse cookery."
