“Lady Noggs, properly called Lady Felicia Grandison, is the small niece and ward of a prime minister, whose peace of mind is continually disturbed by pranks and escapades of the most extraordinary nature.... A background romance between the governess and the secretary is engaging and real by way of contrast.”—Outlook.
“The object of these few remarks is to cordially commend Felicia, within her suitable literary bounds, as a pleasant holiday companion.”

Jernigan, Thomas R. China in law and commerce. [*]$2. Macmillan.
From these pages “one may glean not merely knowledge of the political and commercial life of the country, but a better understanding of the Oriental mind. The physical features, the resources, the people of China; the state, provincial, district, town, and family organization, the anomalies between legal theory and business customs, the native banking system, the weights, measures, and currency employed, the Empire’s transportation facilities” (Outlook) are all fully treated.
“Mr. Jernigan is not an inspiring writer. But there is a great deal that is valuable in his book, and his statements are accurate and apposite.”

“The thing essential in compiling a book of this kind is sympathetic perception, and Mr. Jernigan has evidently cultivated this faculty, during his residence in China, with no little success.”
