Michael Faraday: Third Edition, with Portrait
Gladstone, J. H. (John Hall)
Faraday, Michael, 1791-1867
"_The book is a really charming description of a thousand English
landscapes and of the emergencies and the fun and the delight
of a picnic journey through them by a party determined to enjoy
themselves, and as well matched as the pair of horses which drew
the phaeton they sat in. The real charm and purpose of the book
is its open-air life among hills and dales._"--TIMES. "_The great
charm of Mr. Black's book is that there is nothing hackneyed about
it, nothing overdrawn,--all is bright and lifelike._"--MORNING POST.
A PRINCESS OF THULE. Three vols. Sixth and cheaper Edition. Crown
8vo. 6_s._
The SATURDAY REVIEW says:--"_A novel which is both romantic and
natural, which has much feeling, without any touch of mawkishness,
which goes deep into character without any suggestion of painful
analysis--this is a rare gem to find amongst the débris of current
literature, and this, or nearly this, Mr. Black has given us in
the 'Princess of Thule.'_" "_It has, for one thing, the great
charm of novelty.... There is a picturesqueness in all that Mr.
Black writes, but scarcely even in the 'Adventures of a Phaeton'
are there the freshness and sweetness and perfect sense of natural
beauty we find in this last book._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE. "_A
beautiful and nearly perfect story._"--SPECTATOR.
