LIVERPOOL COURIER. _Uniform with this Volume._ THOMAS LOVE PEACOCK A CRITICAL STUDY BY A. MARTIN FREEMAN "Mr. Freeman's study will be eagerly welcomed. He deals with all Peacock's known writings, giving analysis of each; and he writes with a freshness, a searching clearness and thoroughness delightful in these days of so much slovenly, slipshod criticism. He sends one to Peacock, and thereby does the best service a critic of Peacock can do." EVENING STANDARD. "It is distinguished and critical, and captures the atmosphere of Peacock." OBSERVER. "We recommend it to Peacockians, and also to those who would become such; it reveals him better than any anthology could.... The book contains biography and criticism in a manner quite sufficient to equip the casual reader with a knowledge of the man and his books." WORLD. "Mr. Freeman's monograph recounts all that is known about the circumstances of Peacock's career, and it contains also a good deal of acute criticism of his writings. It gives us many clues to interpretation, and helps us to understand the whimsical characteristics of a man who had a magic pen, and who was nothing if not original." STANDARD.
