"In 'America Revisited' Mr. Sala is seen at his very best; better
even than in his Paris book, more evenly genial and gay, and with a
fresher subject to handle."--_World._
"Mr. Sala's good stories lie thick as plums in a pudding throughout
this handsome work."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
"A new book of travel by Mr. Sala is sure to be welcome. He
possesses the happy knack of adorning whatever he touches, and of
finding something worth telling when traversing beaten
ground."--_Athenæum._
"A pleasant day may be spent with this book. Open where you will you
find kindly chat and pleasant description. The illustrations are
admirable."--_Vanity Fair._
"As for the style of this entertaining and lively book, it is
exactly what we should have expected. The writer is full of life,
observation, and swiftness to seize upon salient and characteristic
points. His description of the Chinese quarter of San Francisco may
be strongly commended."--_Saturday Review._
"This brilliant work possesses an irresistible charm, difficult to
define indeed, but none the less delightful. Reading it is like
listening to a good talker--the usual slightly wearisome sense of
reading is effaced by the vivaciousness of the style in which the
cleverest _feuilletoniste_ of the day has narrated his experiences
on the occasion of his last visit to America."--_Morning Post._
"'America Revisited' is bright, lively, and amusing. We doubt
whether Mr. Sala could be dull even if he tried."--_Globe._
