"Whatever William Winter writes is marked by felicity of diction and by
refinement of style, as well as by the evidence of culture and wide
reading. 'Old Shrines and Ivy' is an excellent example of the charm of
his work."--_Boston Courier_.

"... It was the author's wish, in dwelling thus upon the rural
loveliness, and the literary and historical associations of that
delightful realm, to afford sympathetic guidance and useful suggestion
to other American travellers who, like himself, might be attracted to
roam among the shrines of the mother-land. Temperament is the
explanation of style; and he has written thus of England because she has
filled his mind with beauty and his heart with mingled joy and sadness;
and surely some memory of her venerable ruins, her ancient shrines, her
rustic glens, her gleaming rivers, and her flower-spangled meadows will
mingle with the last thoughts that glimmer through his brain when the
shadows of the eternal night are falling and the ramble of life is
done."--_From the Preface_.
"He offers something more than guidance to the American traveller. He is
a convincing and eloquent interpreter of the august memories and
venerable sanctities of the old country."--_Saturday Review_.
"The book is delightful reading."--_Scribner's Monthly_.
"Enthusiastic and yet keenly critical notes and comments on English life
and scenery."--_Scotsman_.
