AN ENGLISHMAN'S LOVE-LETTERS. Third Thousand. Imp. 32mo. Tokio vellum with flaps and pink silk ribbon, all edges gilt, 2s. 6d. net.

The Daily Telegraph.—'There is a delicacy, a lightness, and brightness of touch, a really clever parodying of style which will make the little book really worth reading, even by those who, fired by the sentimental glamour of imaginary circumstances, have placed the "Love-Letters of an Englishwoman" in a very warm corner of their literary affections. The good parody should not induce the loud laugh, it should keep the sense of humour gently stirred; the flicker of a smile, broadening here and there to a grin, runs from cover to cover of these new love-letters. And not their least merit lies in their strict curtailment as to number and length.

'The Spectator.—'A very amusing and quite legitimate skit.'
