Some Press Notices
The Household ofSir Thos. More
Graphic.—"A picture, not merely of great charm, but of infinite value in helping the many to understand a famous Englishman and the times in which he lived."
Scotsman.—"This clever work of the historical imagination has gone through several editions, and is one of the most successful artistic creations of its kind."
Sketch.—"In the front rank of the gift-books of the season is this beautiful and very cleverly illustrated reprint of a work which has lasting claims to popularity."
Magazine of Art.—"The grace and beauty of the late Miss Manning's charming work, 'The Household of Sir Thomas More,' has been greatly enhanced by the new edition now put forth by Mr. John C. Nimmo.... This remarkable work is not to be read without keen delight."
The Maiden and Married Life ofMary Powell(Afterwards Mistress Milton) And the Sequel thereto, Deborah's Diary
Literary World.—"It is rare in these days of sensational literature, when the demand for novels of action is supreme, to take up a book which is so palpitating with real humanity as this, in which the good and evil are depicted dividing their power over one heart, and not broadly separated into heroine and villain."
Athenæum.—"Many will welcome the pretty new edition of the late Miss Manning's most popular work."
Gentlewoman.—"Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon Mr. John Jellicoe and Mr. Herbert Railton, whose dainty illustrations have so well caught the spirit of the book."
Cherry & VioletA Tale of the Great Plague
Athenæum.—"The late Miss Manning's delicate and fanciful little cameos of historical romance possess a flavour of their own.... The numerous illustrations by Mr. Jellicoe and Mr. Railton are particularly pretty."
Sketch.—"A beautiful book! is the verdict, and one to read and read again. A similar verdict is to be passed on the drawings with which Messrs. Herbert Railton and John Jellicoe have enriched this edition."
Literary World.—"Nearly thirty illustrations by Mr. John Jellicoe and Mr. Herbert Railton enrich the volume, and materially help to make it a dainty and acceptable book for presentation purposes."
Magazine of Art.—"With such a work of fiction before her as Defoe's 'Journal of the Plague,' Miss Manning showed not only extraordinary courage, but even a touch of genius, in approaching a similar theme, and dealing with it charmingly and successfully. It is her own grace and charm which have rendered this book worth preserving, fit to place with others of our foremost women writers."
The Old Chelsea Bun-ShopA Tale of the Last Century
Athenæum.—"A handsome reprint of Miss Manning's pleasant tale. The illustrations add to the attractions of the volume."
Bookman.—"The illustrations are capital."
Notes and Queries.—"The work constitutes a delightful gift-book."
Artist.—"We cannot thank Mr. Nimmo sufficiently for bringing out so charming an edition. If there is any one who does not know 'The Old Chelsea Bun-Shop,' he must get it and read it now."
Art Journal.—"Mr. Railton's and Mr. Jellicoe's illustrations are as refined as ever."
