Robinson, F. W. (Frederick William)
English fiction -- 19th century
"This very charming story is a perfect poem in prose. Lovingly
and tenderly is the career of the young artist depicted by one
who apparently knew and appreciated him well. Many will
recognise in the biographer a writer who has on more than one
occasion found favour with the public, but never has he written
more freshly, more charmingly, than in the pages of this
pathetic romance of real life."--_Sun._
A PERSONAL NARRATIVE OF THIRTEEN YEARS' SERVICE AMONGST THE
WILD TRIBES OF KHONDISTAN, FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF HUMAN
SACRIFICE. By Major-General John Campbell, with Illustrations.
"Major-General Campbell's book is one of thrilling interest,
and must be pronounced the most remarkable narrative of the
present season."--_Athenæum._
THE DESTINY OF NATIONS, as indicated in Prophecy. By the Rev. John
Cumming.
"Among the subjects expounded by Dr. Cumming in this
interesting volume are The Little Horn, or, The Papacy; The
Waning Crescent, Turkey; The Lost Ten Tribes; and the Future of
the Jews and Judea, Africa, France, Russia, America, Great
Britain, &c."--_Observer._ "One of the most able of Dr.
Cumming's works."--_Messenger._
MEMOIRS OF JANE CAMERON, FEMALE CONVICT. By a Prison Matron, Author of
"Female Life in Prison."
"This narrative, as we can well believe, is truthful in every
important particular--a faithful chronicle of a woman's fall
and rescue. It is a book that ought to be widely
read."--_Examiner._ "There can be no doubt as to the interest
of the book, which, moreover, is very well
written."--_Athenæum._
"Once or twice a-year one rises from reading a book with a
sense of real gratitude to the author, and this book is one of
these. There are many ways in which it has a rare value. The
artistic touches in this book are worthy of De Foe."--_Reader._
TRAVELS AND ADVENTURES OF AN OFFICER'S WIFE IN INDIA, CHINA, AND NEW
ZEALAND. By Mrs. Muter, Wife of Lieut-Colonel D. D. Muter, 13th (Prince
Albert's) Light Infantry.
"Mrs. Muter's travels deserve to be recommended, as combining
instruction and amusement in a more than ordinary degree. The
work has the interest of a romance added to that of
history."--_Athenæum._
TRAVELS ON HORSEBACK IN MANTCHU TARTARY: being a Summer's Ride beyond
the Great Wall of China, By George Fleming, Military Train. With Map and
50 Illustrations.
"Mr. Fleming's narrative is a most charming one. He has an
untrodden region to tell of, and he photographs it and its
people and their ways. Life-like descriptions are interspersed
with personal anecdotes, local legends, and stories of
adventure, some of them revealing no common artistic
power."--_Spectator._
