_Public Opinion._—“The main object of the book is to prove that Froude

_Westminster Gazette._—“Few letters in the language have in such
perfection the qualities which good letters should possess. Frank, gay,
brilliant, indiscreet, immensely clever, whimsical, and audacious, they
reveal a character which, with whatever alloy of human infirmity, must
endear itself to any reader of understanding.”
_World._—“Throws a deal of new light on the domestic relations of the
Sage of Chelsea. They also contain the full text of Mrs. Carlyle’s
fascinating journal, and her own ‘humorous and quaintly candid’
narrative of her first love-affair.”
_Daily News._—“Every page . . . scintillates with keen thoughts, biting
criticisms, flashing phrases, and touches of bright comedy.”

Influence. By E. A. Vizetelly. With numerous Illustrations, Portraits,
etc. Demy 8vo. 21_s._ net.
_Morning Post._—“Mr. Ernest Vizetelly has given . . . a very true
insight into the aims, character, and life of the novelist.”
_Athenæum._—“. . . Exhaustive and interesting.”
_M.A.P._—“. . . will stand as the classic biography of Zola.”
_Star._—“This ‘Life’ of Zola is a very fascinating book.”
_Academy._—“It was inevitable that the authoritative life of Emile Zola
should be from the pen of E. A. Vizetelly. No one probably has the same
qualifications, and this bulky volume of nearly six hundred pages is a
worthy tribute to the genius of the master.”
Mr. T. P. O’Connor in _T.P.’s Weekly_.—“It is a story of fascinating
interest, and is told admirably by Mr. Vizetelly. I can promise any one
who takes it up that he will find it very difficult to lay it down
again.”
