opinions of the Press.

GEORGE ELIOT. By Mathilde Blind.

“Miss Blind’s book is a most excellent and careful study of a great genius.”—Vanity Fair.

“No page of this interesting monograph should be skipped.”—Graphic.

“Nothing is more needed in the present day than short treatises on great writers like these. Miss Blind has spared no pains to make a coherent and attractive narrative, and has succeeded in presenting us with a complete biography; interspersing her account with incisive criticisms.”—British Quarterly Review.

EMILY BRONTE. By A. Mary F. Robinson.

“Miss Robinson makes the biographical part of her book of extreme interest, while her criticism of her author is just, searching, and brilliant.”—Truth.

“In the volume before us we have a critical biography of the author of ‘Wuthering Heights,’ and presenting to the mind’s eye a clear and definite conception of the truest and most unalloyed genius this country has produced. What Mrs. Gaskell did for Charlotte Bronte, Miss Robinson has with equal grace and sympathy done for her younger sister.”—Manchester Courier.

“Emily Bronte is lovingly and faithfully presented both as a woman and as a writer, and the volume is one for which all lovers of literature will thank Miss Robinson, and the Editor who persuaded her to perform the task.”—Derby Mercury.

GEORGE SAND. By Bertha Thomas.

“Miss Thomas’ book is well written and fairly complete; she is well intentioned, always fair, and her book deserves decided recommendation as an introduction to its subject.”—Athenaeum.

“In this unpretending volume general readers will find allthat they need to know about the life and writings of GeorgeSand. Miss Thomas has accomplished a rather difficult taskwith great adroitness.”—St. James’ Gazette.

“A life of George Sand written carefully and with adequate knowledge, must, and doubtless will, be of interest to many readers, and this little book shows both care and knowledge.”—Vanity Fair.

opinions of the Press.

MARY LAMB. By Anne Gilchrist.

“Mrs. Gilchrist’s ‘Mary Lamb’ is a painstaking cultivatedsketch, written with knowledge and feeling.”—Pall MallGazette.

“To her task of recording this life, Mrs. Gilchrist has evidently brought wide reading and accurate knowledge. She is to be congratulated on the clearness and interest of her narrative, on the success with which she has placed before us one of the gentlest and most pathetic figures of English literature.”—Academy.

“A thoroughly delightful volume, lovingly sympathetic in its portraiture, and charged with much new and interesting matter.”—Harpers’ Magazine.

“To all persons who enjoy a narrative of private life, and toall who desire a greater intimacy than they have hithertoenjoyed with Elia and Bridget, we cordially recommend Mrs.Gilchrist’s ‘Mary Lamb.’”—Vanity Fair.

MARIA EDGEWORTH. By Helen Zimmern.

“A very pleasing resume of the life and works of our gifted countrywoman.”—Freeman’s Journal.

“An interesting biography.”—Echo.

“Miss Zimmern is the first to tell the story as a whole forEnglish readers, and the way in which she describes the Irishhome, the literary partnership of eccentric father andobedient daughter, the visit to France, and Miss Edgeworth’ssight of certain French celebrities including Madame deGenlis, is full of liveliness.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

MARGARET FULLER. By Julia Ward Howe.

“A very fresh and engaging piece of biography, and a worthy addition to Mr. Ingram’s carefully-selected and well-edited series.”—Freeman’s Journal.

“Well worthy of association with its popular predecessors,and among the new books that should be read.”—DerbyMercury.

opinions of the Press.

ELIZABETH FRY. By Mrs. E. R. Pitman.

“Of all English philanthropists, none exhibits a noblernature or is worthier of a permanent record than Mrs. Fry.For this reason we welcome the sketch of her by Mrs. Pitman,published in the Eminent Women Series.”—Times.

“An excellent idea of Mrs. Fry’s noble life and work can be got from Mrs. Pitman’s simple but impressive work.”—Contemporary Review.

“One of the best and most interesting of the series.”—Literary World.

“This is a good book, worthy of a place in the interesting Eminent Women Series.”—Spectator.

“Excellent in arrangement and proportioned with judgment.”—Academy.

COUNTESS OF ALBANY. By Vernon Lee.

“The accomplished authoress has done her work con amore, and left no stone unturned in her endeavour to show the world the flesh-and-blood aspect of the wife of the young Pretender and of her lover, the poet Alfieri.”—Lady’s Pictorial.

“Every page of the book bears witness to the author’s ability and determination to realize her subject, and make readers realize it.”—Athenaeum.

“There is a vivid power in Vernon Lee’s realization ofFlorentine life and society, and much beauty and glow ofcolour in her descriptions.”—Saturday Review.

“This romantic biography is as exciting as any work of imagination, and the incisive and graphic style of its author renders it singularly attractive.”—Morning Post.

HARRIET MARTINEAU. By Mrs. Fenwick Miller.

“A faithful and sympathetic account of this remarkable woman.”—Scotsman.

“As a reflective broad-minded woman’s faithful description of another woman’s private life and brilliant literary career, this critical sketch is admirable.”—Whitehall Review.

“It is not in any sense of the word a compilation, but a memoir which is a model of that conciseness which is not incompatible with distinct portraiture or with a fresh and living interest in the narrative.”—Daily News.

“Mrs. Miller has done her difficult work well, and her volume is one of the ablest and most interesting of the able and interesting series to which it belongs.”—Derby Mercury.
