"The stories all have life in them, and the spice of archæology with which they are flavoured gives a relish that is new, although produced out of the oldest things."-Examiner, Oct. 25, 1856.

"They will be popular, not among archaeologists only, but all other classes. The tales have more pith and wear in them than waggon-loads in three volumes. They bear to be read twice or thrice in a month-a severe test of authorship in fiction."-Tait's Magazine, Dec., 1856.

"Claude's trials at Cambridge are cleverly described, and the way he overcomes them may encourage others in a like course during their college life. The book is sure to please both young and old.”—Literary Gazette.

"This very charming tale is just adapted to a youth commencing a college course."-Sheffield Times. "We cannot name a tale so likely to influence for good a youth at starting in college life."-Era. "The story is told in language so fresh, and his disposition is so excellent, that we follow with genuine interest, which never flags."-English Churchman.

"The novelty, the free rustic charm of Beckside. The more scholastic parts show a knowledge of Cambridge practice, and abound in sharp, quiet pictures of University failings."-Spectator.

"Concentration of thoughts, incidents, and descriptions, into forcible and picturesque language. Its aims are high, its tone pure: great powers of pathos. Claude's career at Cambridge is very vigorously worked out."-Critic.
