“We recommend Dr. Huber’s book to our readers, though we cannot but feel that for practical purposes a much smaller volume would have been more useful.”

Huddy, Mary E. Matilda, Countess of Tuscany. $3.50. Herder.
“Mrs. Huddy’s purpose has evidently been to provide a volume of instructive, popular reading, rather than a book for the student. Edification, too, is her object; and she finds in the brilliant virtues of Matilda, and still more in those of Pope Gregory, ample resources to set off the depressing pictures of vice, violence, cruelty and greed which the chronicler of this stormy period of Italian history is obliged to recall.”—Cath. World.
“It certainly is not for the sake of any inferences that she draws from it that Mrs. Huddy’s narrative is valuable. She is equally lacking in the historic and the philosophic sense.”

“Her own pen is fluent, and her book will be a source of considerable pleasure and profit, we have no doubt, to readers who have no knowledge of the subject, and are able to put up with or even enjoy, sentimental exuberance, misplaced rhetoric, and remarks of an edifying nature.”
