Opinions of the Press (Selected from more than Fifty Newspaper Reviews and Notices). The Times.-A choice volume, the compilation of which has evidently been a labour of love, and the result is a storehouse of admirable quotations, which readers should make much of. Daily Telegraph.-Were we asked to choose the single volume most appropriate for a present to a person of refined and studious habits, we should unhesitatingly name Alexander Ireland's "Book-Lover's Enchiridion." It contains the best thoughts of the best minds on the pleasures of reading and the reward of scholarship, lovingly transcribed and arranged in praiseworthy order by one who is himself an indefatigable reader and a profound student of literature. |
