SOME PRESS OPINIONS.
=Pall Mall Gazette.=--"Plenty of boisterous humour of the Max
Adeler kind ... humour that is genuine and spontaneous. The
author, for all his antics, has a good deal more in him than the
average buffoon. There is, for example, a very clever and subtle
strain of feeling running through the comedy in 'The Love that
Burned'--a rather striking bit of work. Mr. Raven Hill's
illustrations are as amusing as they always are."
=Edinburgh News.=--"Amid the light literature that is to the front
at present there is nothing better than 'Pottle Papers.' It is
very brisk indeed. The illustrations are capital."
=Weekly Sun.=--"The reader who takes this volume up is not likely
to put it down until he has read every one of the sketches, and we
can promise him he will be vastly diverted and entertained by
every one of them."
=Table Talk.=--"The humour is essentially new and breezy.... The
laughter they excite will be a sharp burst of 'laughter
unquenchable.'"
=Northern Figaro.=--"Fortunately, 'The Pottle Papers' are things
one can read and laugh at more than once without injury to either
the reader or the papers. The author is a humorist of the first
water, and his humour is not of the far-fetched or chestnutty
order. The illustrations by Mr. Raven Hill, like all that artist's
work on similar lines, are models of pen and ink humour."
