ATHENÆUM.—"The book now under notice is no doubt heavy and massive, but no competent critic will be prepared to pronounce it dull. It is exceedingly calm and candid, clear-sighted, and ingenious in an eminent degree. It is well thought and weightily written. We have not come across a book of the present day for a considerable while so far removed from the common run of writing and of thinking as this one is. This author manifests that originality which always goes to the centre of a question, whether well or ill conceived, and takes sundry important and fresh views of the entire problem before turning aside from the contemplation of it. Be the writer who he may, he has the credit, at least, of producing a highly original work."

Two Volumes, 8vo, with Chromo-Lithographic Illustrations, 26s.
TImes, April 2, 1863.—"A highly opportune production."
SPECTATOR, March 28, 1863.—"The 'Polish Captivity' is full of light but suggestive sketches, pièces justificatives of historic value, national songs and stories, descriptions of Polish towns, Polish notabilities, and Polish women, and is, besides, a book an English lady might read with twice the ease of Mr. Trollope's latest novel."
