“Mrs. Ellis believes, as most of us do, that the character of the mother goes a long way; and, in illustration of this doctrine, she has given us several lives written in her charming, yet earnest, style. We especially commend the life of Byron’s and Napoleon’s mothers.... The volume has some solid merits.”—Echo.

“This is a book which ought to be in the libraries of all who interest themselves in the education of women.”—Victoria Magazine.

“An extremely agreeable and readable book, ... and its value is not a little enhanced by Mr. Bromley’s illustrations.”—Illustrated Dramatic News.
