(The Times.)
‘The Lake Country, by Mrs. Linton, is the best description of that part of England ever published.’
(The Illustrated London News.)
‘Its exterior is noble, and its interior, studded with many a glorious illustration, corresponds with the outer splendour.’
(The Saturday Review.)
‘A highly attractive and thoroughly enjoyable work.’
(The Athenæum.)
‘No one can leave Mrs. Linton’s book without being informed of much that is curious as well as valuable concerning times past. To the Tourist, who knows the Lakes, this book will be welcome, not only for its text, but on account of the charming drawings with which Mr. Linton has done his best—a very happy best—to recall many lovely and famous scenes.’
(The Examiner.)
‘The Book of The Lake Country is, in every picture, visibly the work of an artist who, whether in large plates or in small sketches, endeavours to represent the soul and life of English scenery, under some of its most picturesque and attractive aspects. Mrs. Linton’s book, were it not illustrated as it is, or printed luxuriously, would indeed win attention and credit, as a careful and interesting monograph of one of the most interesting districts in the kingdom.’
