"The story of a woman's fib Melded In this book Is calcu-
lated to make the 0141 feel vonnirmind the young old. . . . By all
this hook will be read with iutorest. . . . . Mrs. Oaskell has
produced one of the best biographies of a woman by a woman
which we can recall to mind."—Athericust.

"'Thoroughly well and artistically has the work been aocom-
plished—an informing method presides over the whole—there
is no feebleness or redundancy: every circumstance has a direct
bearing on the main °Wet of painting, vigorously and accu-
rately, a real picture of the woman as she was."—Daily News.
The profound pathos, the tragic interest of this book lies in
the terrible struggle that life was to a woman endowed with
Charlotte Bronte"s conacientiousness, affection for her family,
and literary ambition, and continually curbed and thrown back
by physical wretchedness. Its moral is the unconquerable
strength of genius and goodness."—Spectotor.
"Mrs. daskell's ' Life of Charlotte Bronte. has placed her on
a level with the best biographers of any country. It is a truthful
and beautiful work. . . . No one can read it without feeling
strengthened and puritied."—Globe.
