“His book is eminently graphic and readable, and it is no mean proof of its singular excellence that, following so close in the wake of his more imposing friend, Dr. Somerville should be able to hold his own with perfect ease. . . . Such, then, are a few of the points of interest afforded by this curious work, which we accept as a most valuable addition to a most interesting species of literature. The style of the book is flowing and graceful; the spirit of it refined and genial. It is excellently edited by a man who knows when to speak and when to be silent—when a foot-note is required and when it is not. We may expect that such a book will become a favourite among those who read for amusement, and, endowed as it is with a careful index, a standard work of reference to those who are in search of facts.—Times, May 24.
