“In these days when letters and books about travels in Europe have become generally monotonous, to say the least, it is absolutely refreshing to get hold of a bright, original book like ’We Two Alone in Europe.’ ... The book is especially interesting for its fresh, bright observations on manners, customs, and objects of interest as viewed through these young girls’ eyes, and the charming spice of adventure running through it.”
—Home Journal, Boston.
“It is filled with so many interesting glimpses of sights and scenes in many lands as to render it thoroughly entertaining.”
—Congregationalism Boston.
“As the work of a bright American girl, the book is sure to command wide attention. The volume is handsomely bound and copiously illustrated with views drawn, if we mistake not, by the author’s own fair hands, so well do they accord with the vivacious spirit of her narrative.”
—Times, Troy, New York.

Of the “Life of Liszt,” the Herald (Boston) says: “It is written in great simplicity and perfect taste, and is wholly successful in all that it undertakes to portray.”
Of the “Life of Haydn,” the Gazette (Boston) says: “No fuller history of Haydn’s career, the society in which he moved, and of his personal life can be found than is given in this work.”
Of the “Life of Mozart,” the Standard says: “Mozart supplies a fascinating subject for biographical treatment. He lives in these pages somewhat as the world saw him, from his marvellous boyhood till his untimely death.”
Of the “Life of Wagner,” the American (Baltimore) says: “It gives in vigorous outlines those events of the life of the tone poet which exercised the greatest influences upon his artistic career.”
Of the “Life of Beethoven,” the National Journal of Education says: “Beethoven was great and noble as a man, and his artistic creations were in harmony with his great nature. The story of his life is of the deepest interest.”
