JOHN RUSKIN. By FREDERIC HARRISON.
_TIMES_.--"Mr. Harrison knew Ruskin at his best; lectured with
him at the Working Men's College; visited him at Denmark Hill; and in
later years often saw and corresponded with him. The result is a study
of the writer marked in equal measure by discrimination and sympathy;
and a picture of the man, vivid and arresting."
_GLOBE_.--"The best account of Ruskin and his work which has yet
been given to the world. The writer is sure of his facts, and is able
to illuminate them by means not only of a close personal acquaintance
with his subject, but also of a wide and deep knowledge of many other
men and things."
TENNYSON. By Sir ALFRED LYALL, K.C.B,
_TIMES_.--"The criticism is always sane, and sometimes brilliant;
it never errs on the side of exuberance; and it is expressed in
excellent English, moulded into dignified paragraphs."
_DAILY TELEGRAPH_.--"The memoir is admirably carried out, telling
the reader precisely what he wants to know, giving an account of what
the poems contain, as well as a running commentary upon their
character and value, being written, in short, not for the superior
person, but for the average man of the world with literary tastes."
SAMUEL RICHARDSON. By AUSTIN DOBSON.
_TIMES_.--"Mr. Austin Dobson has written what is very nearly a
perfect little book of its kind.
