"These conversations present a distinct and truthful image of Goethe's mind during the last ten years of his "life. And never was his judgment more clear and correct than in his closing years. The time spent on the perusal of this book will be usefully and agreeably employed. Mr. Oxenford's translation is as exact and faithful as it is elegant."—Spectator.
III.
"An amusing book. Mr. Mason is essentially a picture maker. His pencil possesses something of fluency and grace—of descriptive facility and graphic characterization. His pen is an instrument of the same quality: it delights in the portraiture of moving incidents, adventures, and escapes: a dirty padre, a fierce ladrone, a joyous senoreta, a gaily-dressed cavalier, is sure to seize his eye and inspire a picture or suggest a tale."—Athenæum.
"The value of these volumes is unquestionable. We feel a perfect reliance on Mr. Mason's statements. Statistical and tabular documents are brought to bear with official weight on the author's personal conclusions."—Globe.
IV.
"This book is most excellent; its 316 pages of truth have humour and incident enough for the thousand pages of a three-volume novel."—Examiner.
"From the first page to the last, Mr. Shaw's eventful record is full of incident and interest."—Blackwood 's Magazine.
"One of the most interesting and best written books on California."—Athenæum.
