“The subject is an interesting one, and it is treated with very considerable ability. Mr. Ritchie has the valuable art of saying many things in few words: he is never diffuse, never dull, and succeeds in being graphic without becoming flippant. Occasionally his strength of thought and style borders rather too closely on coarseness; but this fault of vigorous natures is counterbalanced by compensatory merit—by an utter absence of cant, a manly grasp of thought, and a wise and genial human-heartedness. The book is a sincere book; the writer says what he means, and means what he says. In these half-earnest days it is a comfort to meet with any one who has ‘the courage of his opinions’ especially on such a subject as the ‘London Pulpit.’”—_Daily News_. “One of the cleverest productions of the present day.”—_Morning Herald_. * * * * * _Just Published_, _price_ 3_s._ 6_d._, _bound in cloth_, _post-free_ 3_s._ 10_d._ HERE AND THERE IN LONDON, BY JAMES EWING RITCHIE.
