~Capital and Labour~ says:--“The plot of the tale is carefully constructed and well worked out, and while the main purpose is always kept in view, opportunity is taken to depict some of the phases of Anglo-Indian life, while the characters in the story are cleverly portrayed, and the attention of the reader is never allowed to flag.” _Crown 8vo. cloth elegant, bevelled boards, gilt edges. Price ~5~s. Plain, ~3~s. ~6~d._ JEMIMA. A Story of English Family Life. By ADELAIDE. With Frontispiece. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. The ~Times~ says:--“‘Jemima,’ by Adelaide, is another tale that girls should care to read, with sufficient proportion of story, and of a more original type than girls’ books generally are. The humour, of which there is an unusual proportion for such works, is not, perhaps, of a very subtle or rich quality, but it is easy and simple, and appropriate to the characters. Any humour, so long as it is neither vulgar nor obscene, is surely preferable to the long-drawn melancholy which is too apt to pervade girls’ books--for what reason we could never understand; girls are no more naturally prone to sadness than boys.” The ~Scotsman~ says:--“A better story of its kind than ‘Jemima’ cannot easily be met with. The book is written with a freshness and exuberant buoyancy of manner that suit the subject admirably.” The ~Academy~ says:--“‘Jemima’ is a very natural and charming story of a very natural and charming little girl. It is exactly what it pretends to be--‘a story of English family life’--but it has a distinctness of quality which is by no means common in stories of English family life.” The ~Daily Chronicle~ says:--“The story of English family life told by Adelaide, under the title of ‘Jemima,’ is of a much more realistic character. Lively and amusing throughout, there is also an element of good sense introduced, which keeps the juvenile escapades within reasonable bounds, and extracts a lesson even from naughtiness.” _Crown 8vo. 2 vols. ~10~s. each_.
