NOTICES OF THE PRESS "Descriptions of such Shrines come home with deep interest to all hearts--all English hearts--particularly when they are done with the earnestness which distinguishes Mrs. Hall's writings. That lady's earnestness and enthusiasm are of the right sort--felt for freedom of thought and action, for taste, and for genius winging its flight in a n.o.ble direction. They are displayed, oftentimes most naturally, throughout the attractive pages of this volume."--_Observer._
"Mrs. Hall's talents are too well known to require our commendation of her 'Pilgrimages,' which are every way worthy of the beautiful woodcuts that ill.u.s.trate almost every page, and this is very high praise indeed."--_Standard._
"The ill.u.s.trations are very effective; and the whole work externally and internally, is worthy of the patronage of all who love to be instructed as well as amazed."_--Church and State Gazette._
"The book is a pleasant one; a collection of a great deal of curious information about a number of curious places and persons, cleverly and readily put together, and combined into an elegant volume."--_Guardian_.
