MORNING POST.—"His profound and brilliant study of Jeremy
Taylor's life and writings."
ROSSETTI. By ARTHUR C. BENSON.
TIMES.—"A very good book, full of well-chosen, facts and of discreet sympathy with a character that needs a good deal of understanding."
PILOT.—"Mr. Benson displays not only a delicate sympathy, but a penetration and a sanity of judgment that enable him to put before us not merely a plausible, but a convincing portrait of a man who twenty years after his death, in spite of changing fashions, exercises, as in his own day, a strange and potent spell over the imagination."
MARIA EDGEWORTH. By the Hon. EMILY LAWLESS.
GUARDIAN.—"Miss Lawless is to be congratulated upon having produced what is very nearly the ideal life of Maria Edgeworth. Within little more than two hundred pages she has included all necessary facts, and has achieved a living presentment of a most estimable and lovable character."
STANDARD.—"Miss Lawless has drawn a most acceptable portrait of a delightful woman."
GLOBE.—"A memoir of great interest."
HOBBES. By Sir LESLIE STEPHEN, K.C.B.
TIMES.—"One of the most remarkable additions to the 'Men of Letters.'… The admirable judgment and remarkable knowledge of Sir Leslie Stephen have rarely been seen to more advantage than in these pages."
