GLOBE:  “A clever and interesting book.  Agreeable satire. 
Store of epigram.”

REFEREE:  “A new comic writer.  There is a touch of the
devilry of Heine in Mr. Zangwill’s wit.”

SCOTSMAN:  “Any one who has listened to what the wild waves say as they beat the shores of Bohemia will read the book with enjoyment and appreciate its careless merriment.”

FREEMAN’S JOURNAL:  “Very clever and amusing; highly
interesting, humorous and instructive.”

PICTORIAL WORLD:  “One of the smartest books of the season. 
Brimful of funny ideas, comically expressed.”

MAN OF THE WORLD:  “Witty to excess.  To gentlemen who dine out, the book will furnish a stock of ‘good things’ upon every conceivable subject of conversation.”

GRANTA:  “A book of genuine humour.  Full of amusing things. 
The style is fresh and original.”

DISILLUSION: 

A STORY WITH A PREFACE.

“The leading characters in this typically modern tale are very well drawn, and the author has distanced all her fellow-novelists of her own sex in the delineation of a woman whose heartlessness may be truly called devilish.  The strength of this portrait is remarkable.  The other woman is effective too, and the tangle of the relations of the three is put right by a device of startling originality.”—­World.

“Few cleverer books have come under our notice for many months past.”—­Daily Telegraph.

“A story with the one supreme merit of originality.”—­Daily Chronicle.

“Another study of the New Woman, and a most brilliant and convincing study.  Celia Adair is almost an inspiration.  Such a woman has never been drawn with more absolute truthfulness....  A very powerful and pathetic piece of work.”—­Speaker.

“A very clever story; ... it is on the crest of the wave.”—­Review of Reviews.

“Had we space, we should like to make a good many quotations from the sayings of Celia.  Her principles are abominable, and her morals are of the laxest; but many of her remarks are original, pungent, and entertaining.  A good deal of thought has evidently been expended upon this book,”—­Saturday Review.
