BY A FELLOW OP THE CARPATHIAN SOCIETY ( Diploma op 1881 ) , anh > Attthob op 'The Indian Alps / 2 vols . royal 8 vo . cloth extra , with about 120 Woodcuts from the Author ' s own Sketches and Drawings , 38 s . SOME PRESS OPINIONS . Prom the TIMES . * We have indicated that the authoress is a born artist , both with her pen and pencil ; and through all there is a pervading sympathy with life in every guise , such a tender eje for human joy and sorrow , so much true pathos and genuine humour , and such perfect ! skill in grouping , that the work stands as far above the ordinary tourist ' s narrative as a j picture gallery does above an atlas . " Magyarland " is certain to become a permanent favourite . ' From the ATHENJBUM , February 18 . ' The author is gifted with considerable powers of description , the style being further enlivened by happy and unexpected turns of humour Pen and pencil alike show the artistic feeling of the writer . The numerous illustrations are cleverand some , of them beautiful . * . Throughout the narrative , too , we find a series of wordpictures , to the composition of which the natural features of the country seem to lend themselves , where there are eyes to see them , in no common degree . Among them are the glorious tints of sunrise or sunset on the vast plains ; reapers working by moonlig ht , or by the ruddy glow of fires , which are often fed by sheaves of Indian corn ; dancing at ; intervals , and gipsy bands of music ; groups of shepherds by the wells , or of peasants in church or market-place , the subtlest details of their costumes finding in the author an able expositor Out of these materials the author has , with the aid of a gipsy encampment and a magnificent " afterglow , " evolved some of her prettiest idyllic passages . . . Our gratitude for these attractive volumes . ' From the ACADEMY , March 4 . 1 Really charming episodes of mountain travel , which the authoress portrays even more deftly with her pen than her pencil , although many of the sketches scattered throug h her handsome volumes are both clever and characteristic ' (From the LITEBARY WOULD . The reader will be charmed with pleasant narrative and poetical sketches . . • It is needless to say more in praise of these lively graceful sketches of Magyarland .
