+PRESS OPINIONS.+
_Pall Mall Gazette_, MAY 31, 1897:
" ... That, of a surety, is an unpleasant indictment; and, having thus
genially introduced himself to his reader, the author goes bald-headed
for Mrs. Grundy, Mr. Podsnap, and public opinion as voiced according to
the oracles of Mrs. Smith and Brown, of Little Muddleton Road, and for
all the cherished fetishes of Suburbia."
_Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper_, MAY 30, 1897:
"To persons who like hard hitting, vigorous English levelled at the cant
of Grundyism, this book will come as a great treat."
_Weekly Times and Echo_, MAY 30, 1897:
"'The Blight of Respectability,' by Geoffrey Mortimer, is well worth
reading, and by more of us, perhaps, than imagine it. The shoddy god has
votaries in England, where one would least expect to find them."
