THE REAL CHARLOTTE
BY
E. [OE]. SOMERVILLE AND MARTIN ROSS
Graphic.--"'The Real Charlotte' is indeed a book to enjoy at leisure.It is full of fascinating actuality; and it should be added that theauthors have united their work without leaving a single visible seam."
Daily News.--"The story provides a liberal entertainment of pathos andhumour. All the actors therein, whether sketched with a few pregnantstrokes, or minutely elaborated, are very much alive."
Athenaeum.--"The book may be too long, but there are so many amusingand delightful passages, humorous sayings and doings, with here andthere a word or a line which gives away the very heart of an Irishlandscape, or a man or woman, that we really cannot complain."
Pall Mall Gazette.--"'The Real Charlotte' is perhaps one of the bestmodern examples of an English (or rather an Irish) realistic novelextant."
THE SILVER FOX
BY
E. [OE]. SOMERVILLE AND MARTIN ROSS
Queen.--"The book is written in a bright and breezy tone, withever-restrained humour. It displays nice sense of light and shadow andpower of characterisation."
Spectator.--"Broadly speaking the novel may be said to exhibit in adramatic form the extraordinary hold which superstition still possesseson the minds of the Irish peasantry and the drawbacks, and evendangers, which may result from an unsympathetic or intolerant disregardof such prejudices."
Daily Chronicle.--"We cannot do justice to this book by quotation. Itsmethod and its writing are so good that they tempt us to say itsauthors have nothing to learn from the French novelists."
ALL ON THE IRISH SHORE
BY
E. [OE]. SOMERVILLE AND MARTIN ROSS
With 10 Illustrations by E. [OE]. SOMERVILLE.
Academy.--"A volume to dispel melancholy and arouse the healthiestlaughter."
Badminton Magazine.--"Excellent tales, racy of the soil, full of humourand quaint fancy."
Daily Graphic.--"The world is a good deal gayer for a book of sketcheslike 'All on the Irish Shore.'"
Daily Telegraph.--"It is fairly safe to predict that the reader whotakes up this book will have no inclination to put it down until he hasread it through from cover to cover."
Times.--"These stories rise far above the mere sporting level, andexhibit gifts of perception, literary perception, much higher thananything that has yet appeared from the same clever pens."
Scotsman.--"'All on the Irish Shore' has hardly a page between itscovers that does not contain some touch of rollicking Irish humour thatis calculated to provoke the most serious-minded person to mirth."
Spectator.--"The paramount duty of a reviewer in dealing with thishappily-named volume is one of extreme simplicity--namely, to adviseany one who loves wit, humour, horses, and Ireland to procure itwithout delay. The mere fact that it is by the joint authors of 'SomeExperiences of an Irish R.M.' will doubtless prove a ready passport inthe affections of all who have read and re-read that modern classic."
