"Mr. Whitt) , is a genuine satirist, employing satire for a genuine purpose. You laugh with him very much, but the laughter is fruity and ripe in thought. ' Friends of Bohemia' is no book of bioad.grins; the humours bear on life, the whim sicalities lead to philosophy. The author has a merriment akin to that of Jacques and that of Tirnon."—Athernrion. "There are evidences of power and of trenchant an alytical thought—brightgems of epigrammatic wit—enough to make the fortuneof halt a dozen fashionable novels."—Critic. " A work of singular and original kind, displaying no incon siderable ability. Many scenes and histories in these volumes display originality and ability—a quick eye to detect the vices and follies of the social system, and a skilful hand to depict them."--Stm. 2.
