=Sunday Sun= (The book of the week).—“Mrs. Alec Tweedie’s book is altogether delightful. She is frankly a gossip, and while she includes in her book all that appertains to the Park itself, she can never resist the temptation to tell a good story. No side of life escapes her attention.... In short, a great subject is worthily treated. Lovers of London and lovers of England should be grateful for this memorial of their great playground. Hyde Park may be called a picture book of history, and its history has been written with loving care and no little skill.” =Pall Mall.=—“Mrs. Alec Tweedie is a capital stage manager of this wonderful play, bright, cheery, and always entertaining. She has saturated herself with the atmosphere of each period, and each character, good, bad, and indifferent, stands before us with wonderful reality.... To watch them is to realise how important Hyde Park is to our gregarious metropolis; and if distance intervenes and exiles you, you may still be transported thither on the magic carpet of Mrs. Tweedie’s most engrossing pages.” =The Nation.=—“As delectable to the sociable as it is puzzling to the misanthropic, Hyde Park represents the same spirit of serious trifling and enforced idleness as in the days when it first became a pleasure ground for the High-World some three centuries ago. These are among the ghosts raised by Mrs. Alec Tweedie’s ‘Hyde Park.’ She devotes considerable space to the painful and gruesome chronicles of Tyburn, and tells an entertaining account of the evolution of the carriage.” _BY THE SAME AUTHOR_ Behind the Footlights TWO EDITIONS =Morning Post.=—“It ought to have an unusually large circulation in comparison with other books which describe the inner life of the stage. Mrs. Alec Tweedie touches the moral aspect of the acting life with delicacy and reticence.... Her pictures of rehearsals are realistic. She has many delightful anecdotes.” =Daily Express.=—“A gossiping encyclopædia of the stage. If there is anything about the stage that is not touched upon, it is because it is not worth troubling about, and there is not a dull page in the book from start to finish, and scarcely one which is not brightened by an anecdote.” =Standard.=—“‘Behind the Footlights’ contains a greater amount of direct personal information concerning leading contemporary actors, actresses, managers, and dramatists than can be found in any number of recently published books about the theatre in England.... She must be thanked for a singularly clever and entertaining volume.” JOHN LANE: THE BODLEY HEAD, VIGO STREET, W. _BY THE SAME AUTHOR_ George Harley, F.R.S.; or, The Life of a Harley Street Physician By HIS DAUGHTER =The Times.=—“The authoress is well known by her pleasant and chatty books of travel.... She has succeeded, by a judicious combination of her father’s notes with her own recollections, in producing a readable and interesting memoir.”
