er
read--doubly admirable here, as forming so fitting and illustrative an
introduction to his work, which is very complete and thorough."--THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW, _October, 1878_.

"Dr. Hill has produced an entertaining and instructive book, based on
careful and minute research, which has been prompted by keen interest in
his subject. The introductory sketch of Oxford in Johnson's time is
admirably executed."--THE SCOTSMAN, _August 8th, 1878_.

"Every reader who would be fully informed about the period of English
literature, and the men and women who then figured in society, must read
Dr. Hill's volume, or miss much that is essential to a full
comprehension of it."--THE NONCONFORMIST, _August 28th, 1878_.

"This work is the result of long study, has been accomplished with care
and diligence, and is not only in itself a piece of very pleasant
reading, but tends to place before us, in a truer light than anything
that has before been written, the character of a man who did so much for
the English language, and who deserves better than to be forgotten by
his countrymen."--THE MORNING POST, _October 15th, 1878_.
