Observer.—“The little book is bright and readable, and will come like a breath of country air to many unfortunates who are tied by the leg to chair, stool, or counter.”
Dundee Advertiser.—“It is all delightful, and almost as good as a holiday. The city clerk, the jaded shopman, the weary milliner, the pessimistic dyspeptic, should each read the book. It will bring a suggestion of sea breezes, the plash of waves, and all the accessories of a holiday by the sea.”

Morning Post.—“Brightly written and full of observation that throws vivid and playful sidelights here and there, and provides entertainment that does not always appertain to works of travel.”
Daily Express.—“A delightful and intimate work.”
Sunday Special.—“There is an intense enthusiasm, a poetic fervour, and a dry sense of humour, such as you only find at intervals among books.”
Outlook.—“These records of Reiselust, or go-fever, as we may call them, are off the beaten track, are novel, manly and picturesque.”
Standard.—“The book is written with humour, his impressions of men and places are vivid, and the charm of the volume is heightened by illustrations, some of which bring us face to face with typical natives of the East, whilst others afford fair glimpses of tropical scenery.”
