“The book is a little heavy for classroom use. It contains a larger number of printers’ errors than ought to exist. Yet, when all is said, there is so much valuable matter packed into its six hundred pages ... that it remains indispensable.”

“This volume should be introduced to a much wider circle of students than those of the agricultural colleges generally. It will be found well suited to serve as the foundation of important seminars in chemistry, in geology and especially in plant physiology and ecology.” F. H. King.

“The subject of Miss Hill’s book is the Burney family in the last of their London homes; that is, from the autumn of 1774 to the spring of 1783. The author has been fortunate enough to obtain new material in the shape of unpublished letters from the Burney Mss.; and she has also had the use of a copy of Madame D’Arblay’s ‘Diary and letters’ annotated by a granddaughter of its first editor. By interweaving with the new matter passages from the ‘Early diary,’ the ‘Memoirs of Dr. Burney’ and other printed sources dealing with the Burney and Thrale circle, she has produced a most agreeable volume of handsome appearance.”—Ath.

“If its pages sometimes repeat what should be a familiar tale, they also illustrate and supplement it.” S. M. Francis.
