PALL MALL GAZETTE.—“A book brimful of highly interesting and entertaining matter.”
SCOTSMAN.—“As a vivacious chronicle of those events which constitute the trimmings and the embroideries of serious history, Mr. Wilkins’s work will rank as one of the most entertaining books on an interesting period.”
NOTTINGHAM DAILY GUARDIAN.—“The author’s descriptions of life at Court during both reigns, and of such episodes as the rising of 1715 and the quarrel between George I. and his son, are full of vivid reading, and his sketches of Walpole, Bolingbroke, and other leading politicians are both adequate and fair.”
DAILY NEWS.—“The sketches of Court life and manners in the days of the first two Georges furnish the reader with abundant entertainment.... Mr. W. H. Wilkins may be congratulated upon the discovery of one illustrious Princess who, though she filled for a considerable period a very conspicuous and on the whole a worthy position in the annals of this country, has somehow escaped due biographical honours.”
The “Baron de Book Worms” in PUNCH.—“Brilliantly written, with every incident dramatically given, and with every important character duly weighed and valued, there is not a dull page in the entire work. It is, indeed, one of the most interesting, as it is one of the most delightful, of books, sparkling with the romance of real life that has engrossed the Baron’s attentions this many a day. Those who have a lively recollection of The Love of an Uncrowned Queen will be in no way disappointed with this new work by the same author.”
