"The photogravure illustrations--fifty in
number--are perfect as works of art. Some are
pictures of scenery; most are characteristic
representations of the children. All are
full-page."--_British Weekly._
". . . the beautiful little faces depicted in the
photogravures which adorn the volume. There are
fifty of these photogravures in the book, the
major portion being of children, and we regard it
as extremely improbable that more splendid
pictures are to be found in any other
work."--_Baby._
"The most wonderful photographs."--_Contemporary
Review._
"We have seldom seen more attractive illustrations
than those of the Indian children which are here
reproduced."--_East and West._
"They are the finest photographs of children we
have ever seen, and beautifully produced."--_The
Record._
"We must, in conclusion, compliment all concerned
in the manner in which this appeal for the
children has been issued--the author, the artist,
and the publishers (Messrs. Morgan & Scott Ld.),
having combined to produce in 'Lotus Buds' a fine
piece of work."--_The Publishers' Circular._

DR. A. RUDISILL, M.E. Press, Madras:--"In 'Things as They Are' are
pictured by pen and camera some things as they are. It is all the more
needful now when so many are deceived, and are being deceived, as to the
true nature of idolatry, that people at home who give and pray should be
told plainly that what Paul wrote about idolaters in Rome and Corinth is
still true of idolaters in India."
"The account of native life, of the customs of the people, of the few
pleasures they enjoy, and the many sorrows that oppress them, is as
accurate as it is lucid and entertaining. It will be well to give this
book studious attention; it is so completely sincere and so free from
prejudice; and there are many excellent illustrations after
photographs."--_Literary World._
