The Times.
"This prettily printed and prettily illustrated collection of Spanish
Romances deserve their welcome from all students of seventeenth century
literature."
Daily Telegraph.
"A handy and beautiful edition of the works of the Spanish masters of
romance.... We may say of this edition of the immortal work of Cervantes
that it is most tastefully and admirably executed, and that it is
embellished with a series of striking etchings from the pen of the
Spanish artist De los Rios."
Scotsman.
"Handy in form, they are well printed from clear type, and are got up
with much elegance; the etchings are full of humour and force. The
reading public have reason to congratulate themselves that so neat,
compact, and well arranged an edition of romances that can never die is
put within their reach. The publishers have spared no pains with them."
Saturday Review.
"Messrs. Nimmo & Bain have just brought out a series of Spanish prose
works in twelve finely got-up volumes."
