ST. JAMES’S GAZETTE.—“This new batch of Mr. Kipling’s short stories is splendid work. Among the thirteen there are included at least five of his very finest.... Speaking for ourselves, we have readThe Day’s Workwith more pleasure than we have derived from anything of Mr. Kipling’s sinceThe Jungle Book.... It is in the Findlaysons, and the Scotts, and the Cottars, and the ‘Williams,’ that Mr. Kipling’s true greatness lies. These are creations that make one feel pleased and proud that we are also English. What greater honour could there be to an English writer?”

OF THE
LADY ARABELLA
By M.E. SEAWELL
SPEAKER.—“A story told with so much spirit that the reader tingles with suspense until the end is reached.... A very pleasant tale of more than common merit.”
PALL MALL GAZETTE.—“It is short and excellent reading.... Old Peter Hawkshaw, the Admiral, is a valuable creation, sometimes quite ‘My Uncle Toby’.... The scene, when the narrator dines with him in the cabin for the first time, is one of the most humorous in the language, and stamps Lady Hawkshaw—albeit, she is not there—as one of the wives of fiction in the category of Mrs. Proudie herself.... The interest is thoroughly sustained to the end.... Thoroughly healthy and amusing.”
WORLD.—“Brisk and amusing throughout.”
