"_Altogether a delightful book.... It exhibits the author's
best traits, and cannot fail to infect the reader with a
love of nature and of out-door life and its enjoyments.
It is well calculated to bring a gleam of summer with its
pleasant associations, into the bleak winter-time; while
a better companion for a summer ramble could hardly be
found._"--BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.

successful. He has surrounded his legal distinctions
with a halo of mock passion which is in itself in the
highest degree entertaining, especially when the style of
the different modern poets is so admirably hit off that
the cloud of associations which hangs round one of Mr.
Swinburne's, or Mr. Rossetti's, or Mr. Browning's, or Mr.
Clough's, or Mr. Tennyson's poems, is summoned up to set
off the mock tenderness or mock patriotism of the strain
itself._"--SPECTATOR.
