luding in their
itinerary St. Petersburg and Moscow. Miss Ninde's narrative is written
in a fresh and sprightly but unsensational style, which, with the
unusual experiences portrayed, renders the work quite unlike the
ordinary books of travel.

It is a narrative told so naturally and so vividly that the two gentle
travellers do not seem to be "alone," but to have taken at least the
reader along with them.... It is filled with so many interesting
glimpses of sights and scenes in many lands as to render it thoroughly
entertaining.--_The Congregationalist, Boston._

As the work of a bright American girl, the book is sure to command wide
attention. The volume is handsomely bound and copiously illustrated
with views drawn, if we mistake not, by the author's own fair hands, so
well do they accord with the vivacious spirit of her
narrative.--_Times, Troy, New York._

In these days when letters and books about travels in Europe have
become generally monotonous, to say the least, it is absolutely
refreshing to get hold of a bright, original book like "We Two alone in
Europe."... The book is especially interesting for its fresh, bright
observations on manners, customs, and objects of interest as viewed
through these young girls' eyes, and the charming spice of adventure
running through it.--_Home Journal, Boston._

The publishers have done well in issuing this volume in a style of
literary and artistic excellence, such as is given to the works of the
poets of name and fame, because the contents richly entitle it to such
distinction.--_Home Journal, Boston._

The high poetic character of these poems, as a whole, is surprising. As
a unit, the collection makes an impression which even a genius of the
highest order would not be adequate to produce.... Measured by poetic
richness, variety, and merit of the selections contained, the
collection is a rarely good one flavored with the freshness and aroma
of the present time.--_Independent, New York._
