=Punch.=--"What pleasant memories does not Clement Scott's little
book, 'The Wheel of Life,' revive? The writer's memory is good,
his style easy, and above all, which is a great thing for
reminiscences, chatty."
=Referee.=--GEORGE R. SIMS (Dagonet) says: "Deeply interesting are
these memories and recollections of the last days of Bohemia.... I
picked up 'The Wheel of Life' at one in the morning, after a hard
night's work, and flung myself, weary and worn, into an easy chair
to glance at it while I smoked my last pipe. As I read all my
weariness departed, for I was young and light-hearted once again,
and the friends of my young manhood had come trooping back from
the shadows to make a merry night of it once more in London town.
And when I put the book down, having read it from cover to cover,
it was 'past three o'clock and a windy morning.'"
SISTERS BY THE SEA.
(_SEASIDE AND COUNTRY SKETCHES._)
SECOND EDITION JUST OUT.
Vignette and Frontispiece designed by GEO. POWNALL.
_Attractively bound in cloth._ =Price One Shilling.=
=Observer.=--"The little book is bright and readable, and will come
like a breath of country air to many unfortunates who are tied by
the leg to chair, stool, or counter."
=Morning.=--"Bright, and fresh and pretty.... Mr. Scott appeals so
directly to the sympathy of the reader that it is as good as
change of air to read of his trips to the seaside, and you almost
expect to find your face bronzed by the time you get to the end
of the book."
=Sheffield Telegraph.=--"Bright, breezy, and altogether
readable.... East Anglia, Nelson's Land, &c., are all dealt with,
and touched lightly and daintily, as becomes a booklet meant to
be slipped in the pocket and read easily to the pleasing
accompaniment of the waves lazily lapping on the shingle by the
shore."
=Dundee Advertiser.=--"It is all delightful, and almost as good as
a holiday. The city clerk, the jaded shopman, the weary milliner,
the pessimistic dyspeptic should each read the book. It will
bring a suggestion of sea breezes, the plash of waves, and all
the accessories of a holiday by the sea."
_May be obtained at the Railway Bookstalls and of all Booksellers_.
