Life and Times of Her Majesty Caroline Matilda, Vol. 3 (of 3): Queen of Denmark and Norway, and Sister of H. M. George III. of England
Wraxall, Lascelles, Sir
Caroline Mathilde, Queen, consort of Christian VII, King of Denmark, 1751-1775; Denmark -- History -- Christian VII, 1766-1808
SPECTATOR.--"The whole book bears the evident mark of maturity of
thought. The third chapter is full of thoughtful and able argument, in
which the positions, not only of Comte, but often of Mill, are powerfully
and successfully assailed."
ATHENÆUM.--"The book now under notice is no doubt heavy and massive,
but no competent critic will be prepared to pronounce it dull. It is
exceedingly calm and candid, clear-sighted, and ingenious in an eminent
degree. It is well thought and weightily written. We have not come across
a book of the present day for a considerable while so far removed from
the common run of writing and of thinking as this one is. This author
manifests that originality which always goes to the centre of a question,
whether well or ill conceived, and takes sundry important and fresh views
of the entire problem before turning aside from the contemplation of it.
Be the writer who he may, he has the credit, at least, of producing a
highly original work."
THE POLISH CAPTIVITY:
An ACCOUNT of the PRESENT POSITION and PROSPECTS of the POLES in the
KINGDOM of POLAND,
AND IN THE POLISH PROVINCES OF AUSTRIA, PRUSSIA, AND RUSSIA.
BY SUTHERLAND EDWARDS.
Two Volumes, 8vo, with Chromo-Lithographic Illustrations, 26s.
TIMES, _April_ 2, 1863.--"A highly opportune production."
SPECTATOR, _March_ 28, 1863.--"The 'Polish Captivity' is full of light
but suggestive sketches, _pièces justificatives_ of historic value,
national songs and stories, descriptions of Polish towns, Polish
notabilities, and Polish women, and is, besides, a book an English lady
might read with twice the ease of Mr. Trollope's latest novel."
ATHENÆUM, _March_ 21, 1863.--"Mr. Edwards' book will be read with deep
interest. It is well written, and the narratives are well constructed."
LONDON REVIEW, _March_ 28, 1863.--"The book in which Mr. Sutherland
Edwards has depicted the 'Polish Captivity' would have been valuable at
any time, but the opportuneness of its arrival so enhances its merits,
that it is certain to command a greater than ordinary success."
13 Waterloo Place, S. W.

EDINBURGH EVENING COURANT.--"It is a book that we can seriously
recommend, not only to those who are desirous of abundant and reliable
information respecting the social economy of the Russian people, but to
those who seek an entertaining volume, that may be perused in any part
with both profit and amusement."
GLOBE.--"This book is full of useful information and sensible comment on
a people and country which are very little known in England, even among
the cultivated and travelling classes."
