ROMANCES OF THE ROAD
'There is a fine old-world flavour about these stories, "The Strange Passenger by the Night Mail," "The Highwayman's Bay Mare" and "The Snow-bound Chaise." There was always romance about the King's highway when the coaches thundered along. Thormanby, who, of course, is a master of all knowledge relating to the road, gives us ten short stories, which will pass the time pleasantly on a wet afternoon. They are full of the life of the seventeenth century, when horses were such important adjuncts to man's life. We hear of runaway couples, and bold highwaymen, and lonely inns, and a lady in a mask. We do not regret one bit that they all belonged to another time than ours, but we own to a certain pleasure in reading about them, just as we may like to turn over a bundle of old sporting prints.—Glasgow Herald, 11th July 1901.
BOXERS AND THEIR BATTLES
'That the author writes well goes without saying. But he writes with point, graphically, a restricted sense of humour, and a capacity to make telling pictures that merits the highest praise. "Boxers and their Battles" should find a place in every English sportsman's library.'—Birmingham Daily Gazette.
