MRS. E. M. WARD'S REMINISCENCES.Edited by Elliott O'Donnell. In royal 8vo, cloth gilt, gilt top, with six photogravure plates, 12s. 6d. net.

" Mrs. E. M. Ward throughout all these pages displays a wide sympathy, a charming personality, and an interesting acquaintance with men and things which make her book a sweet, wholesome, and delightful volume .... will win an established place among the records of the Victorian Era."—Daily Telegraph.

" As might have been expected, Mrs. Ward's reminiscences are good reading. Mrs. Ward's capacious memory takes in all manner of men and things. She tells piquant stories of royal sitters and visitors; gives glimpses of Windsor in the days when Queen Victoria was a young and happy wife; gossips about dress in the days of the crinoline and poke bonnet; recalls to life Dickens, Thackeray, Lytton, and the other literary lions of an age which is beginning to seem very distant; and gives her narrative an undercurrent of purely personal reminiscence which reminds one that Mrs. Ward was not only in her time a great painter, and the wife of a great painter, but also the mother of several talented children. The book is written in a simple, straightforward, vivid way that makes it very easy and pleasant reading."—Standard.
