Morning Post.--"No more fascinating volume of essays has ever appeared
in our language ... the humour is of a peculiarly delicate kind--the
humour of the Quietist. It must be purchased, or you must borrow it
permanently, or forget to return it to the library."
AT LARGE
SECOND IMPRESSION
Daily Chronicle.--"This is, in its way, the most frankly personal of
the 'Benson books' as yet published. It is all graceful, soothing, and
pleasant--the very book for tired minds in a nerve-racking world.
THE ALTAR FIRE
THIRD IMPRESSION
World.--"An achievement of rare power, pathos, and beauty, and, so far,
incomparably the finest thing that its author has given us."
BESIDE STILL WATERS
FOURTH IMPRESSION
Daily Chronicle.--"'Beside Still Waters' gathers together the scattered
threads which have been already introduced into several of Mr. Benson's
more recent studies; it consolidates his attitude in life, and gives
full expression to his mellow and contented philosophy."
FROM A COLLEGE WINDOW
SIXTEENTH IMPRESSION (FOURTH EDITION)
London Quarterly Review.--"Will be read again and again with eager
interest."
THE UPTON LETTERS
14TH IMPRESSION (SECOND EDITION). WITH A PREFACE
Daily Chronicle.--"If any one supposes that the art of letter-writing
is dead, this volume will prove the contrary.... Altogether this is a
curiously intimate and very pathetic revelation."
