Judgments in Vacation.
SOME PRESS OPINIONS.
Athenæum.—“They deal among other topics with the letters of Dorothy Osborne, the disadvantage of education, the craftsmanship of the drama and the nice problems of the kitchen; and they all possess a lightness of touch and sense of companionableness which makes them agreeable reading.”
G. K. Chesterton in Illustrated London News.—“I cannot refrain from imploring my readers to get hold of Judge Parry’s ‘Judgments in Vacation,’ it is extraordinarily good.”
Morning Leader.—“Literature and law jostle each other with a delightful air of indifference.”
The Standard.—“It is a rollicking book.”
Daily Graphic.—“A wide range of knowledge and experience and a faculty of literary skill unite to make this collection of his papers exceedingly readable.”
Manchester Guardian.—“It is all very jolly and irresponsible.”
Eye-witness.—“But it is not only a witty, sparkling book, it is a human document in which the tragedy of the poor, their never-ending debts, their hopeless yet patient insolvency is sketched with a profound insight, a living sympathy.”
Westminster Gazette.—“But perhaps we have said enough to show that for an hour or two by the fire the book is all good company.”
