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._ TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES 1. Passages in italics are surrounded by _underscores_. 2. The word homoeopathy uses an "oe" ligature in the original. 3. Apart from one misprint correction on page 157 ("necesssity" changed to "necessity") and few punctuation corrections, no other modifications have been made in the text.
