“In the main the book is written in a cheerful, hopeful spirit, with ungrudging recognition of the fact that the great changes which the author has witnessed have been improvements, though he sees room for many amendments. It is a book for solicitors to study. The oldest may profit by it, and the youngest draw from it hope and encouragement.”

Holland, Clive. [Warwickshire], painted by Frederick Whitehead, described by Clive Holland. *$6. Macmillan.
“Kenilworth, Coventry, Stratford-on-Avon, Rugby, Warwick Castle, Birmingham—these are some of the names that catch the eye as one glances at the sketch-map of the large, handsome volume on ‘Warwickshire,’ and suggest to the most casual reader the wealth of historical, literary and architectural material at the disposal of the author and artist. Good use has been made of it and ... there are 75 full-page color-type prints from water-color sketches.”—Ind.
“Mr. Whitehead ... is at his best in his broader sketches, where his vigorous colour touches atone for the weakness of his draughtsmanship, and atmosphere is not lost by the over-elaboration of unimportant details. Mr. Clive Holland says a great deal about Warwickshire, though very little that has not been said sufficiently before.”
