study of the "eternal feminine."'--_Birmingham Post._ 'Never has Max O'Rell been more delightful than in his new book--delightful in his sense and in his nonsense, though Max O'Rell's nonsense has so much of sound reason in it that it is often worth more than other folks' solemnity.... It is good from the first taste to the finish.'--_Weekly Dispatch._ 'A book which "Her Royal Highness" should by all means read.'--_Outlook._ 'What Max O'Rell knows not about women you may depend she does not know herself. It is a pleasure to find a book to which one can give such unstinted praise.'--_Books of To-day._ 'The book teems with brilliant passages and witty sayings, all of them full of good sense and wisdom.... Altogether, this is a delightful book to dip into.'--_Court Circular._ 'He is witty and humorous, with a genial wisdom which is not seldom epigrammatic.

He is nothing if not a diplomatist, but he is something more--he is the keenest of observers.'--_Lady's Pictorial._ 'A handbook to matrimony. In his witty and wise remarks Max O'Rell deserves a prominent place among his compatriots in the study of women.... A bright and amusing book, with a good deal of common-sense in it.'--_Daily Telegraph._ 'Max O'Rell has written many excellent books, but never a better than "Her Royal Highness Woman."'--_Athenaeum._ 'Delicious. I wish I had space to find out a few other plums from Max O'Rell's amusing study ... shrewd and true.'--_Free Lance._ 'Should be in the hands of every woman.'--_Le Temps._ 'Humorous and amusing--yes; bu
