Of the "Life of Liszt," the Herald (Boston) says: "It is written in great simplicity and perfect taste, and is wholly successful in all that it undertakes to portray."

Of the "Life of Haydn," the Gazette (Boston) says: "No fuller history of Haydn's career, the society in which he moved, and of his personal life can be found than is given in this work."

Of the "Life of Mozart," the Standard says: "Mozart supplies a fascinating subject for biographical treatment. He lives in these pages somewhat as the world saw him, from his marvellous boyhood till his untimely death."

Of the "Life of Wagner," the American (Baltimore) says: "It gives in vigorous outlines those events of the life of the tone poet which exercised the greatest influences upon his artistic career."

Of the "Life of Beethoven," the National Journal of Education says: "Beethoven was great and noble as a man, and his artistic creations were in harmony with his great nature. The story of his life is of the deepest interest."

"The narrative is not dry on a single page, and the little history may be commended as the best of its kind that has yet appeared,"

-- Bulletin, Philadelphia.

"A book both instructive and entertaining. It is not a dry compendium of dates and facts, but a charmingly written history."

-- Christian Union, New York.

"After a careful examination of its contents, we are able to conscientiously give it our heartiest commendation. We know no elementary history of France that can at all be compared with it."

-- Living Church.

"A spirited and entertaining sketch of the French people and nation, -- one that will seize and hold the attention of all bright boys and girls who have a chance to read it."

-- Sunday Afternoon, Springfield (Mass.).

"We find its descriptions universally good, that it is admirably simple and direct in style, without waste of words or timidity of opinion. The book represents a great deal of patient labor and conscientious study."

-- Courant, Hartford (Conn.).

"Miss Kirkland has composed her 'Short History of France' in the way in which a history for young people ought to be written; that is, she has aimed to present a consecutive and agreeable story, from which the reader can not only learn the names of kings and the succession of events, but can also receive a vivid and permanent impression as to the characters, modes of life, and the spirit of different people."

-- The Nation, New York.

FAMILIAR TALKS ON ENGLISH LITERATURE. A Manual embracing the Great Epochs of English Literature, from the English conquest of Britain, 449, to the death of Walter Scott, 1832. By ABBY SAGE RICHARDSON. Fourth edition, revised. Price [USD]1.50.

THE BOSTON TRANSCRIPT SAYS:

"The work shows thorough study and excellent judgment, and we can warmly recommend it to schools and private classes for reading as an admirable text-book."

THE NEW YORK EVENING MAIL SAYS:

"What the author proposed to do was to convey to her readers a clear idea of the variety, extent, and richness of English literature.... She has done just what she intended to do, and done it well."

THE NEW YORK NATION SAYS:

"It is refreshing to find a book designed for young readers which seeks to give only what will accomplish the real aim of the study: namely, to excite an interest in English literature, cultivate a taste for what is best in it, and thus lay a foundation on which they can build after reading."

PROF. MOSES COIT TYLER SAYS:

"I have had real satisfaction in looking over the book. There are some opinions with which I do not agree; but the main thing about the book is a good thing; namely its hearty, wholesome love of English literature, and the honest, unpretending, but genial and conversational, manner in which that love is uttered. It is a charming book to read, and it will breed in its readers the appetite to read English literature for themselves."
