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._ LONDON: CHATTO & WINDUS, 111 ST. MARTIN'S LANE, W.C. HER ROYAL HIGHNESS WOMAN OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON HER ROYAL HIGHNESS WOMAN 'A delightfully amusing companion.... Max O'Rell is a keen observer, has genuine humour, and as a writer he is very amusing, because he refuses to take anything seriously.'--_Punch._ 'In "Her Royal Highness Woman" Max O'Rell is, as you might expect, at his best and brightest.'--_Truth._ 'It is, indeed, an amusing volume.... Most of what he says about woman is true enough, and wittily expressed.'--_Times._ 'The only Max has given us a treat in this book of selections from his best and most interesting sketches. His quaint, subtle humour seasons the light reading to a nicety, and we have not been provided with such neat comedy for some long time.'--_Northern Weekly._ 'Wise and witty.'--_To-day._ '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 personal
