Reviews

concise, well written, and highly instructive. Recommended for large university libraries.-Choice
There is a lot for us to relish in the pages. The index alone is worth a tour, revealing both the mundane and the exotic. The book is a sharp reminder of the Victorian treasures that we know we'd like to read. Every university library should have this book.-Albion
