OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON RAMBLES IN WOMANLAND

'Max O'Rell has in this volume given us another entertaining and delightful dissertation upon woman and her kind. What Max O'Rell does not know about the s.e.x to which he has not the honour to belong is hardly worth knowing.'--_St. James's Gazette._

'It is too late in the day to dwell upon the features of style which render the work of Max O'Rell such easy and agreeable reading, and it is unnecessary to ill.u.s.trate his pretty gift of phrase-making. He has gained his own place among popular authors, and offers no sign of vacating it.'--_Pall Mall Gazette._

'We hardly know whether to recommend the book to our readers or not. They will not put it down, once begun--that is certain.'--_Spectator._

'Max O'Rell, in his new book, expresses in his own peculiar and entertaining way many witty, satirical, and humorous ideas on the subject of the "eternal woman."'--_Daily Express._

'Max O'Rell is always entertaining, and provokes friendly discussion as readily as any writer I know. His new book contains many aphorisms, and some of them are very good.'--_British Weekly._

'Max O'Rell supplies, not for the first time, a delightful mixture of commonplace and common-sense.'--_Daily Chronicle._

'We have no doubt a great many people will enjoy the book, and the enjoyment will be innocent and wholesome.'--_Academy._

'Max O'Rell's chaff is excellent, and all in perfect good taste.'--_Pelican._

'The genial author takes up the cudgels on behalf of the better-looking s.e.x in a way which should make his book tremendously popular with lady readers--especially the married ones.... A very entertaining book.'--_Golden Penny._

'Contains some delightful reading.... It is a book happy in idea, felicitous in expression, cynically frank and refres.h.i.+ng in its candour.'--_Gossip._

'Another collection of amusing and epigrammatic essays.... Max O'Rell, as everyone knows, has the gift of discoursing fluently and amusingly on any subject on which he touches, and to English and American people his good-humoured criticisms are particularly valuable, as they are not only sound and sane in themselves, but they are written from an outside standpoint.'--_Morning Leader._

'Women will not feel sorry that Max O'Rell's last work should be his new book on the fair s.e.x. For many a year he has helped us with his gentle raillery, cheered us with his bright humour, and taught us much. "Rambles in Womanland" contains many little personal reminiscences and revelations, and its author's wit is undimmed. The book is full of epigrams, bons mots, and piquant criticisms.'--_Gentlewoman._

'Max O'Rell's last book will add to the regret that his genial pen will write no more. Usually there is a tone of gaiety in what he says, but at all times he discusses important problems with all seriousness, and with not a little of the wisdom with which a wide knowledge of the world had endowed him. Max O'Rell's writings have always been notable for witty epigrammatic sentences.... His last work is a bright and engaging book.'--_Daily Telegraph._

'With a pretty wit and a turn for epigram this writer can scarcely be dull, and no one will turn to one or other of these chatty chapters without being pleasantly entertained.'--_Scotsman._

'Liveliness, amiability, charm, honourable sentiment, humour, every quality that the best kind of French culture produces, are open to anyone who can read English in the pages of Max O'Rell.

Every page of these "Rambles" is sprinkled over with aphorisms.

... This most entertaining book.'--_Vanity Fair._

'There is much that is entertaining in these short pithy comments on women's characteristics, and occasionally criticism that penetrates deep beneath the surface, and reveals a vast amount of observation and knowledge of the world.... The book is full of smart sayings and clever aphorisms.'--_Publishers'

Circular._

'Whatever his theme, he is always bright, and the coruscations of his wit are exceedingly diverting.... This last contribution is full of good things, placed in an amusing setting.... These are but a few maxims culled from a crowded garden.... This wonderful little volume.'--_Echo._

'"Rambles in Womanland" has between its covers much wisdom, served up with a pretty garnish of wit and that wholesome sauce--common sense. Indeed, Max O'Rell has written nothing better than--in fact, nothing so good as--"Rambles in Womanland." Here we have his riper wisdom, his fuller experience; but while he has gained in wisdom or experience, he has not lost his spiciness or his power of brief, terse epigram.'--_Black and White._

'Full of sparkling common-sense.'--_T. P.'s Weekly._

'There is enough fresh material to commend these "Rambles in Womanland" to those who have enjoyed rambling through the author's entertaining writings.'--_Morning Post._
