“Another of Mr. Timbs’s useful books. It is full of information, carefully compiled. Anecdotes are interspersed, bearing happily upon each topic.”—London Review.
“Mr. Timbs’s personal experiences and recollections are peculiarly valuable, as embodying the observations of an acute, intelligent, and cultivated mind. As a companion to Things not Generally Known, by the same painstaking Author, Things to be Remembered must certainly become equally popular. More reflective, and more original, and not less truthful in its deductions, Things to be Remembered carries with it an air of vitality which augurs well for perpetuation. It cannot fail to find many grateful readers.”—Observer.
“Things to be Remembered is crammed with information, and written with consecutiveness, care, and sometimes real eloquence. Equally interesting and instructive with its predecessor, Things not generally Known, the present Things to be Remembered is much more reflective in its character, and will most likely possess a special charm for many readers on this account. It has our most cordial commendation.”—Sunday Times.
“A pleasant companion, and the number of useful hints it contains should make every reader grateful to the painstaking and thoughtful compiler. It is an excellent present for young people, or town lending-libraries.”—The Era.
“Mr. Timbs’s volume may be found a useful companion to a distressed littérateur who wants an opening anecdote for an article upon the last social topic of the day.”—Parthenon.
“This is perhaps the most reflective of all Mr. Timbs’s many useful books. We have no doubt that as a companion volume to Things not Generally Known, this of Things to be Remembered in Daily Life will be as popularly received as its predecessor. We cordially recommend the book.”—The Builder.
“Here we have our indefatigable friend pouring out the contents of his well-filled note-books, and richly-stored memory, upon those vast themes, Time and Human Life, which, as he well observes, are ‘great matters for so small a book.’ And, while Mr. Timbs claims for this volume the merit of being more reflective than its predecessors, those who read it will add to that merit—that it is equally instructive.”—Notes and Queries.
“Of all the contributions to collected and condensed literature for which the public is indebted to Mr. Timbs, this little volume will, probably, be the favourite. The author sets down many of the results of the experience of a long life, in which truthful observation has been the cardinal aim. In the sections devoted to ‘The School of Life,’ and ‘The Spirit of the Age,’ the calm and mature judgment, and the common sense of the writer, render his precepts practical and valuable.... No portion of this book is without value, and several biographical sketches which it contains are of great interest.... Things to be Remembered in Daily Life is a valuable and memorable book, and represents great research, and considerable and arduous labour.”—Morning Post.
