“Widely read and praised on both sides of the Atlantic and Pacific, with scores of illustrations which fit the text exactly and show the mind of artist and writer in unison.”—New York Evening Post.

“It is to be doubted whether another book can be found so thoroughly amusing from beginning to end.”—Boston Daily Advertiser.

“For sparkling wit, irresistibly contagious fun, keen observation, absolutely poetic appreciation of natural beauty, and vivid descriptiveness, it has no recent rival.”—Mrs. P. T. Barnum’s Letter to the New York Tribune.

“A brighter, merrier, more entirely charming book would be, indeed, difficult to find.”—St. Louis Republic.

“One of the most naïve and entertaining books of the season.”—New York Observer.

“The raciness and breeziness which made ‘A Social Departure,’ by the same author, last season, the best-read and most-talked-of book of travel for many a year, permeate the new book, and appear between the lines of every page.”—Brooklyn Standard-Union.

“So sprightly a book as this, on life in London as observed by an American, has never before been written.”—Philadelphia Bulletin.
