ook.'--_Daily Telegraph._
'With a pretty wit and a turn for epigram this writer can
scarcely be dull, and no one will turn to one or other of these
chatty chapters without being pleasantly
entertained.'--_Scotsman._
'Liveliness, amiability, charm, honourable sentiment, humour,
every quality that the best kind of French culture produces, are
open to anyone who can read English in the pages of Max O'Rell.
Every page of these "Rambles" is sprinkled over with aphorisms.
... This most entertaining book.'--_Vanity Fair._
'There is much that is entertaining in these short pithy
comments on women's characteristics, and occasionally criticism
that penetrates deep beneath the surface, and reveals a vast
amount of observation and knowledge of the world.... The book is
full of smart sayings and clever aphorisms.'--_Publishers'
Circular._
'Whatever his theme, he is always bright, and the coruscations
of his wit are exceedingly diverting.... This last contribution
is full of good things, placed in an amusing setting.... These
are but 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._
