OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"Mr. Ritchie has with well-meant and terrible truthfulness described the
temptations to which the youth of our great metropolis are exposed. 'The
Night Side of London' is a fearful and, we believe, faithful
representation of the extent to which unlawful and revolting
licentiousness lays its bait and ruins its victims. . . . It is well

advantage of our young men if they could meet with this high-minded book
in all our institutes and libraries. Mr. Ritchie's book should be known
far and wide."--_Literary World_.

"Mr. Ritchie is well known as a lively and amusing writer, but in the
work before us he has given us something more permanent than amusement
and more valuable than mere mirth. The facts and figures of London life
as here drawn with the shadows of night upon them are enough, and more
than enough, to rouse to greater activity the efforts of all
philanthropic and Christian souls to do more than is done for the sins
and sorrows of our modern Babylon."--_The Rock_.
