THE CHARM OF LONDON

‘This is a delightful book.’--_Evening Standard._

‘Mr. Hyatt has filled his anthology with good things. It is a book that will delight the heart of the lover of London.’--_Yorkshire Post._

‘A most attractive and companionable book.’--_Scotsman._

‘The book is divided under an ingenious series of headings, illustrating London in a variety of picturesque and suggestive aspects, and few lovers of our capital will fail to enjoy its varied contents.’--_Globe._

‘It contains some of the choicest passages in verse and prose appreciating the streets and buildings, the aspects and ways of the mighty metropolis.... No similar collection will be more popular than this.’--_Baptist Times._

‘It is well-informed, pleasantly written, and forms a useful and very readable book.--_Morning Leader._

‘A varied and excellent selection of prose and verse that has been written about the great city by authors of the past and present.’--_Reader._

‘Of “The Charm of London” we can speak in almost unstinted praise. The extracts are excellently chosen, and the very neat and handy _format_ in which they are presented greatly enhances their attractiveness as a volume for companionship.’--_Guardian._

‘The plan is novel, and Mr. Hyatt’s execution of it deserves praise.’--_Nation._

‘A London anthology must of necessity be a delightful book, so frequently has the great city inspired novelists, poets, and essayists to their best work. This is a delightful book ... which is sure to be a favourite with many London-lovers all over the world.’--_Pall Mall Gazette._

‘This is a useful and satisfying anthology.’--_New Age._

ALSO UNIFORM IN SIZE AND PRICE

THE CHARM OF EDINBURGH

‘It is very welcome, for it brings to our notice many delightful extracts from the works of men and women to whom Edinburgh has been an inspiration. Mr. Hyatt does full justice to his subject, with the result that we feel ourselves to be heavily in debt to him.... “The Charm of Edinburgh,” viewed as a whole, is a book in which there is a holiday for the mind.’--_Literary World._

‘Here is a book which will admirably succeed in emphasizing to the stranger Edinburgh’s claim to beauty and historical and literary interest.’--_Athenæum._

‘A little book which the many lovers of the ancient capital of Scotland will pounce upon and dip into with much delight.’--_Scotsman._

‘Lovers of Edinburgh--and they are countless--will be deeply grateful for this attractive little volume, in which have been brought together poems and prose passages illustrative of the beauties of “the ancient and famous metropolis of the North.”’--_Scottish Review._

‘Compiled with considerable thought and skill.’--_Standard._

‘Tastefully selected and well produced, it should be ordered at once from one’s bookseller.’--_The Road._

‘“The Charm of Edinburgh” is a pearl of anthologies. Mr. Alfred H. Hyatt, the compiler, had a wealth of material to select from, and has done his work to admiration.’--_Christian World._

‘It is a remarkably attractive little volume.’--_Globe._

‘That a town of such dignity and beauty as Edinburgh, one so instinct with historical and romantic associations, should have inspired many pens is but natural; and here we have a goodly collection of the tributes, both in verse and prose, that have been paid to the “Queen of the Unconquered North.” Every Scotsman who is proud of his capital will desire to possess this volume, and whoever has paid a visit north will find it to be a very pleasant remembrancer.’--_Birmingham Daily Post._

‘This is a very attractive book.’--_Spectator._

‘Mr. Hyatt has made a collection which will at once delight the reader and call forth his admiration of the industrious research which it represents.’--_Dundee Advertiser._

‘Here in this dainty little compilation are nearly 450 closely-packed pages in description of Edinburgh by eminent and eloquent pens, from Ben Jonson to Mr. Alfred Noyes.... Edina has her thousands of admirers, who will welcome this collection of tributes from her most illustrious sons, and from a score or two strangers as well.’--_Daily Chronicle._
