touches at all. . . . Yet, Mr. Ritchie
never fails to produce a characteristic likeness, though his view of a
man seems to be always taken on the wing in the heat of action and
excitement. This of itself is a merit that adds much spirit to the
current of his criticisms. . . . In the main, his sketches are as clear
as they are brief. . . . A good feature of this book is its general
fairness."--_London Review_.

"We can bear testimony to the fidelity of Mr. Ritchie's representations,
the spirit of impartiality shown in his estimates of character, the
breadth and liberality of his sentiments, and the very interesting
character of his book."--_Literary World_.

"His lively style and his avoidance of anything subtle or disputative,
though he never conceals his political sympathies, united with his ample
resources of Parliamentary and political knowledge, fit him admirably for
this modest undertaking. Mr. Ritchie has seen and remembered and
described many Parliamentary incidents, and those who want to know what
the House of Commons is like, how its principal men have gained their
positions, and how they comported themselves therein, will find him a
pleasant guide."--_Morning Star_.
