Mail. Written with refreshing candour, well worth reading.—Spectator. A delightful book. It is brightened with anecdotes of all kinds,while the record of its principal subject is as impressive as it is inter-esting.—Truth. Interesting reading of the kind so entertaining, illustrated with goodportraits : brightly written : will doubtless find a wide circle of admirers.—Standard. The easy, chatty style of the book, the descriptive touches, the fundof anecdote, the artless and spontaneous narrations of the great singerherself, all contribute to make the volume attractive. Nowhere is thereanything heavy or dull.—Birmingham Post. Exceedingly interesting, and lightened up by many a lively anecdote.It is impossible to give anything like an adequate list of the notablnames that crop up ; they include most of the great artists, actors,singers, writers, and scientists of the present day.—Glasgow Herald.
