In it a searching observer of many phases of humanity, charming in
his wit and without the blemish of malice, presents with his pencil
as much of his social philosophy as he could give with his pen in a
hundred novels. In spite of its title and origin, a collection of
Mr. Du Maurier's sketches covers any society; and in looking it over
one is only too content that the artist chose to exploit a society
which affords the beauty and elegance of the Du Maurier
type.--_N. Y. Sun._
The kindly humor of Du Maurier, the quiet incisiveness of his
satire, and his inimitable skill at the portrayal of social types
are delightfully manifested in this series of one hundred plates,
ending up with the melodramatic death-bed scene of Trilby.--_Boston
Beacon._
IN BOHEMIA WITH DU MAURIER
By Felix Moscheles. With Sixty-three Illustrations by George du
Maurier. 8vo, Cloth, Gilt Tops and Uncut Edges, $2 50.
For these, and for a few references to the originals of the
characters in the novel, and to the hypnotic experiments in which Du
Maurier was interested in his youth, the book will doubtless be
bought. But he must be a dull person who does not find another charm
in Mr. Moscheles's artless narrative, mostly about nothing at all,
or about the nothings that make up the joy of living to madcap
boys.--_N. Y. Mail and Express._
It possesses the literary quality that marked his more mature
illustrations, and evinces the quality of reticence that preserved
his humor from becoming caricature. He has often been compared to
Thackeray; this work suggests Hood, and it would be interesting to
know how much he cared for his English predecessors and
assimilated.--_Philadelphia Press._
