"Mrs. Humphry Ward has used all her delicate and subtle art to draw a picture of her beloved brother; and his friend Mr. Montague's account of his middle life is also remarkable for its literary excellence." — Athenceum. "The memoir .... tenderly and skilfully written by the 'sister and friend,' tells a story, which well deserved to be told, of a life tich in aspiration, interests, and friendships, and not without its measure of actual achievement." — Tribune. " This geographical sense and his feeling for politics give colour to all he wrote." — Times. " Anyone who desires a general account of the Empire under Augustus which is freshly and clearly written and based on wide reading will find it here." — Manchester Guardian. " Nothing could be better than the sympathetic tribute which Mrs. Humphry Ward pays to her brother, or the analysis of his work and method by his colleague Mr. Montague. The two together have more stuff in them than many big books of recent biogilaphy." — Westminster Gazette. The Memoir may be had separately, price 2s. 6d net. No. V.

"Tra mezzo ai tanti libri esteri di semplici divulgazione su fatti e figure della storia italiana, questo emerge piacevalmente e si legge volontieri. E diverso di carattere e di trattazione. Esume .... dalla polvere degli archivi e delle bibliote3he qualche cosa che ha un valore fresco ed interessante, un valore storico e un valore umano." — A.A.B. in the Archivio Storico Italiario. " L'introduotion se termine par toute une dissertation du plus grand int^rSt documentee k I'aide des archives venitiennes, sur le caractere commercial des pelerinages, dont les armateurs de Venise assumerent, jusqu 'au XVIIe si^cle I'entreprise." — J.B. in the Revue de Synthise historique. " Miss Newett has performed her task admirably, preserving much of the racy humour and shrewd phrasing which mark the original, and adding, in the introduction, a general treatise on the Venetian pilgrim industry, and in the notes copious illustrations of the text." — Horatio Brown in the English Historical Review. 84, Cross Street, Manchester
