By the author of “Elizabeth and her German garden.” “A German girl writes from Jena to the young Englishman who is at first her lover, and subsequently, after he has broken off the engagement, her friend, and who finally puts an end to the friendship also by insisting on the impossible attempt at renewing their former relations.... Little detached incidents, reminiscences, reflections on life and literature, and so on, form the subject of the letters, which depend for their charm wholly on the personality of the writer.”—Ath.

“It has all the old grace and vivacity, and is free from the suspicion of coldness and heartlessness that occasionally dashed our enjoyment of her earlier books. Her letters are invariably piquant and entertaining, and we may add that they contain much excellent advice and criticism.”
