_Eye-witness._--"But it is not only a witty, sparkling book, it is a human document in which the tragedy of the poor, their never-ending debts, their hopeless yet patient insolvency is sketched with a profound insight, a living sympathy." _Westminster Gazette._--"But perhaps we have said enough to show that for an hour or two by the fire the book is all good company." _Liverpool Daily Post and Mercury._--"The essays and papers in his Honour's book are in every way worthy of the bright humour, vivacity and literary skill we are wont to associate with the name of the Admirable Crichton of the County Court Bench." _The Spectator._--"Judge Parry deals with various subjects, social, literary and other, and has something worth hearing to say about all of them." _Daily Telegraph._--"Whether his themes are grave or gay, the mood in which he treats them lively or severe, Judge Parry is invariably interesting, and his volume should be widely read." Second Impression in the Press. Large Post 8vo. 7_s._ 6_d._ _net._ What the Judge Saw: Being 25 years in Manchester, by One who has done it. _Pall Mall Gazette._--"A rollicking story.
