“I formally declare that ‘My Discovery of England’ is one of the most delightful amusing books I have read for many a day, Mr. Leacock is more than a fellow of infinite jest. He is a man of ideas. He has something to say about pretty nearly everything.”—Sunday Chronicle.
“What a splendid and healthy thing is a real laughing philosopher. Mr. Leacock is as ‘bracing’ as the sea-side place of John Hassall’s famous poster. His wisdom is always humorous, as his humour is always wise. It is all delightful reading.”—Sunday Times.
“Another book in which Professor Stephen Leacock gives free rein to his humour, which is quite at its best.”—Westminster Gazette.
“There is a laugh on every page.”—Daily Sketch.
