"The interest of 'Wotton Reinfred' to me is considerable, from the sketches which it contains of particular men and women, most of whom I knew and could, if necessary, identify. The story, too, is taken generally from real life, and perhaps Carlyle did not finish it, from the sense that it could not be published while the persons and things could be recognized. That objection to the publication no longer exists. Eveybody is dead whose likenesses have been drawn, and the incidents stated have long been forgotten."--James Anthony Froude. "'Wotton Reinfred' is interesting as a historical document. It gives Carlyle before he had adopted his peculiar manner, and yet there are some characteristic bits--especially at the beginning--in the Sartor Resartus vein. I take it that these are reminiscences of Irving and of the Thackeray circle, and there is a curious portrait of Coleridge, not very thinly veiled. There is enough autobiography, too, of interest in its way."--Leslie Stephen. "No complete edition of the Sage of Chelsea will be able to ignore these manuscripts."--Pall Mall Gazette. MEN, MINES, AND ANIMALS IN SOUTH AFRICA. By Lord Randolph S. Churchill. With Portrait, Sixty-five Illustrations, and a Map. 8vo. 337 pages. Cloth, $5.00. "The subject-matter of the book is of unsurpassed interest to all who either travel in new countries, to see for themselves the new civilizations, or follow closely the experiences of such travelers. And Lord Randolph's eccentricities are by no means such as to make his own reports of what he saw in the new states of South Africa any the less interesting than his active eyes and his vigorous pen naturally make them."--Brooklyn Eagle. "Lord Randolph Churchill's pages are full of diversified adventures and experience, from any part of which interesting extracts could be collected.... A thoroughly attractive book."--London Telegraph. "Provided with amusing illustrations, which always fall short of caricature, but perpetually suggest mirthful entertainment."--Philadelphia Ledger. "The book is the better for having been written somewhat in the line of journalism. It is a volume of travel containing the results of a journalist's trained observation and intelligent reflection upon political affairs. Such a work is a great improvement upon the ordinary book of travel. Lord Randolph Churchill thoroughly enjoyed his experiences in the African bush, and has produced a record of his journey and exploration which has hardly a dull page in it."--New York Tribune. LIFE IN ANCIENT EGYPT AND ASSYRIA. By G. Maspéro, late Director of Archæology in Egypt, and Member of the Institute of France. Translated by Alice Morton. With 188 Illustrations. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
