Victor Hugo, told by a witness, can hardly fail to be a tale which will make Europe sit still to listen." PRESS, _July_ 25, 1863.--"These volumes contain a wonderful wealth of anecdote, and we predict that they will be read with great avidity." LONDON REVIEW, _July_ 25, 1863.--"We have said enough, we hope, to show our readers that the present volumes will repay perusal. From beginning to end we have found them full of lively and interesting gossip, with numerous passages which have also an historical value." STANDARD, _Sept._ 29, 1863.--"This is altogether a very charming little book; its contents are so various that no reader can fail to be pleased, and the style--light, graceful, and piquant--is the perfection of chatty biography."
