EWING RITCHIE, Author of " The London Pulpit," &e., Re. " There is a matter-of-fact reality about the sketches; but they are chiefly remarkable for the moral tone of the reflections. Generally speaking, painter; of these subjects rather throw ' a purple light' over the actual scenes, and say nothing of the consequences to which they lead ; Mr. Ritchie is ever stripping off the mask of the mock gaiety before him, and pointing the end to which it must finally come."—Spectator. " This book is elegantly written ; the style is even simple, and is occasionally the vehicle of a manly pathos, somewhat stern indeed, but all the more real, perhaps, on that account."— Weekly Times. "Mr. Ritchie is favourably known to us; nor do we think this little volume will detract from his reputation."—Daffy News. "Mr. Ritchie's sketches are lively and graphic in style, and convey truthful pictures of some of the dark phases of London Life."—Literary Gazette. "Mr. Ritchie contents himself with a graphic and not over drawn description."—Economist. "It is written in a sketchy and dashing style, and is a most readable work."—Sunda,, Times. London: W.
