new book, expresses in his own peculiar and entertaining way many witty, satirical, and humorous ideas on the subject of the "eternal woman."'--_Daily Express._ 'Max O'Rell is always entertaining, and provokes friendly discussion as readily as any writer I know. His new book contains many aphorisms, and some of them are very good.'--_British Weekly._ 'Max O'Rell supplies, not for the first time, a delightful mixture of commonplace and common-sense.'--_Daily Chronicle._ 'We have no doubt a great many people will enjoy the book, and the enjoyment will be innocent and wholesome.'--_Academy._ 'Max O'Rell's chaff is excellent, and all in perfect good taste.'--_Pelican._ 'The genial author takes up the cudgels on behalf of the better-looking sex in a way which should make his book tremendously popular with lady readers--especially the married ones....

Usually there is a tone of gaiety in what he says, but at all times he discusses important problems with all seriousness, and with not a little of the wisdom with which a wide knowledge of the world had endowed him.
