Hussey, Eyre. Girl of resource. †$1.50. Longmans.
A story of “commonplace modern life,” with a heroine who has the habit of inflicting quotations and long harangues on any listener, who enacts scenes from “Sanford and Merton,” and who is “gifted with a keen appreciation of the humorous.”
“The reader may find it hard to smile as often as is expected of him. The fun is from the first to the last a little forced, yet always abounding.”

“We suppose we must be sadly dense to find her the very paragon of bores, but such she certainly appears upon these amazing pages. And yet the writer has facility, and he knows his compendium.”

“The book is not quite equal to ‘Miss Badsworth, M. F. H.’ in which the author exploited an original idea; but it is agreeable, and would be even more so had it been a little shorter.”
