ATHENÆUM, _December_ 5_th_, 1863.--"This is a work, which in its
outspoken and perhaps sometimes boisterous frankness, will shock many
admirers of Goethe and Schiller, and of the land they lived in; but
which, nevertheless, in despite of the honest, downright blows which
Mr. Mayhew distributes so freely with his English cudgel on the members
of almost every German class and profession, and on almost every German
custom and institution, is full of original thought and observation, and
may be studied with profit by both German and English--especially by the
German."
BELL'S MESSENGER, _January_ 23_rd_, 1864.--"Mr. Mayhew's very amusing
volumes well deserve careful perusal. The Luther exploration is deeply
interesting."
MORNING POST, _December_ 31_st_, 1863.--"Mr. Mayhew has made up two very
interesting volumes."
ILLUSTRATED TIMES, _January_ 16_th_, 1864.--"Mr. Mayhew has produced the
most entertaining and (to a careful reader) instructive book we have
seen for a long time--a book that will be greedily gone through and long
remembered by everybody that takes it up."
ILLUSTRATED NEWS, _January_ 2_nd_, 1864.--"To say that Mr. Henry Mayhew
has written two exceedingly entertaining volumes will appear, to those
who know anything of his writings, equivalent only to saying that he has
written two volumes. He has now left English for German life; so far,
at least, as Saxony offers a specimen of it, and his descriptions are
characterised by the same graphic, uncompromising, and, one is bound to
say, moreover, studded, as usual, by gems of wit, humour and anecdote,
and illustrated by comparisons or contrasts, drawn from that vast stock
of experiences with which his acquaintance with an extensive range of
society has supplied him."
GLASGOW MORNING JOURNAL, _April_ 18, 1864.--"Mr. Mayhew's work is
excessively interesting, and in many passages excessively amusing, there
can be no manner of of doubt, while we have every reason to believe
that the picture it presents of German life and manners is in the main
strictly and literally true."
LONDON REVIEW, _Jan._ 16_th_, 1864.--"We do not know where to look for a
better view of the student life of a German university than Mr. Mayhew
gives us _àpropos_ of that of Jena."
