'The London Pulpit,' 'Here
and There in London.' His volume 'About London' will, no doubt, be as
widely circulated as its predecessors. In it he communicates a vast mass
of information in a pleasant, gossiping style.--_Illustrated News of the
World_.

"Mr. Ritchie is well and favourably known as one of those writers who,
whilst possessed of a keen and observant eye, remarks all the social
inconsistencies of which human society in the great modern Babylon is
composed, and spares neither those who may be said to hold the language
of the first murderer--'Am I my brother's keeper?' nor others, who grovel
in the sensuality, which speedily deforms man into little less than the
beast of the earth. In this, the last of the several books in which he
has related the doings of London life, high and low, he does not enter so
fully into the mysteries of the singular career of the Arabs of our
streets, but touches matters on a somewhat higher level with the same
force and intelligence, which he has hitherto manifested, combined with a
more genial and pleasant refinement, which will commend its information
to those who may have been disposed to be somewhat hypercritical as to
the advisability of too closely 'holding the mirror up to nature,' and
showing vice its own deformity and horror.--_Bella Weekly Messenger_.

"The new book by Mr. Ritchie, entitled 'About London,' fully sustains the
reputation of the author of 'The Night Side of London.' It is, both in
matter and manner, a most readable volume. In a series of twenty
chapters the more conspicuous and characteristic places and persons about
London are admirably sketched. The author indulges in all his modes. He
is observant, penetrative, didactic, satirical, and reflective. Health,
cheerfulness, and hope, however, are the pervading tones of this work.
Whether the subject be the 'Newspaper People,' 'Spiritualism,' 'London
Gents.' or 'Criminal London,' he has the happy disposition of educing
good and ennobling lessons and influence from each and all.--_Press_.
