a few
maxims culled from a crowded garden.... This wonderful little
volume.'--_Echo._
'"Rambles in Womanland" has between its covers much wisdom, served up
with a pretty garnish of wit and that wholesome sauce--common-sense.
Indeed, Max O'Rell has written nothing better than--in fact, nothing so
good as--"Rambles in Womanland." Here we have his riper wisdom, his
fuller experience; but while he has gained in wisdom or experience, he
has not lost his spiciness or his power of brief, terse
epigram.'--_Black and White._
'Full of sparkling common-sense.'--_T. P.'s Weekly._
'There is enough fresh material to commend these "Rambles in Womanland"
to those who have enjoyed rambling through the author's entertaining
writings.'--_Morning Post._

'In "Her Royal Highness Woman" Max O'Rell is, as you might expect, at
his best and brightest.'--_Truth._

'Max O'Rell has never written anything better.'--_Morning Post._
'The book is so tactful that it ought to insure Max O'Rell a still
greater popularity than he already enjoys.... It is a wholesome book
for both husbands and wives to read.... It is as full as ever of the
author's contagious good spirits and merry wit.... The whole 250 pages
... reads like the best of after-dinner speeches.'--_Queen._
'Max O'Rell is talking very pleasantly, scattering seeds of wisdom in
the sun. It is well that the book should be as superficially wise and
witty as we find it.'--_Academy._
'Have you read "Her Royal Highness Woman"? If not, you have something
still to live for.'--_Western Mercury._
'This delightful volume, we have no hesitation in saying it, will teach
each class "how to be happy though married."... A remarkably fresh and
