EWING RITCHIE (‘CHRISTOPHER CRAYON’). * * * * * OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. ‘Very interesting.’—_Daily Graphic_. ‘A pleasant, good-natured book.’—_Echo_. ‘It will be read with a rush by everyone who takes it up.’—_British Weekly_. ‘We cordially recommend Mr. Ritchie’s book to all who wish to pass an agreeable hour and to learn something of the outward actions and inner life of their predecessors. It is full of sketches of East Anglian celebrities, happily touched if light limned.’—_East Anglian Daily Times_. ‘A very entertaining and enjoyable book. Local gossip, a wide range of reading and industrious research, have enabled the author to enliven his pages with a wide diversity of subjects, specially attractive of East Anglians, but also of much general interest.’—_Daily Chronicle_. ‘The work is written in a light gossipy style, and by reason both of it and of the variety of persons introduced is interesting. To a Suffolk or Norfolk man it is, of course, especially attractive. The reader will go through these pages without being wearied by application. They form a pleasant and entertaining contribution to county literature, and “East Anglia” will, we should think, find its way to many of the East Country bookshelves.’—_Suffolk Chronicle_. ‘The book is as readable and attractive a volume of local chronicles as could be desired. Though all of our readers may not see “eye to eye” with Mr. Ritchie in regard to political and theological questions, they cannot fail to gain much enjoyment from his excellent delineation of old days in East Anglia.’—_Norwich Mercury_. ‘“East Anglia” has the merit of not being a compilation, which is more than can be said of the great majority of books produced in these days to satisfy the revived taste for topographical gossip. Mr. Ritchie is a Suffolk man—the son of a Nonconformist minister of Wrentham in that county—and he looks back to the old neighbourhood and the old times with an affection which is likely to communicate itself to his readers. Altogether we can with confidence recommend this book not only to East Anglians, but to all readers who have any affinity for works of its class.—_Daily News_.
