“Although it is in the form of a novel, its truthful delineation of characters is such that in every village in the land you meet the broken manhood it pictures upon the streets, and look upon sad, tear-dimmed eyes of women and children.  The characters are not overdrawn, but are as truthful as an artist’s pencil could make them.”—­Inter-Ocean, Chicago.

“Jane Austen, a woman of whom England is justly proud.  In her novels she has given us a multitude of characters, all, in a certain sense, common-place, all such as we meet every day.  Yet they are all as perfectly discriminated from each other as if they were the most eccentric of human beings....  And almost all this is done by touches so delicate that they elude analysis, that they defy the powers of description, and that we know them to exist only by the general effect to which they have contributed.”—­Macaulay’s Essays.

“It is difficult to estimate the amount of good which may be done by ‘Tom Brown’s School Days.’  It gives, in the main, a most faithful and interesting picture of our public schools, the most English institutions of England, and which educate the best and most powerful elements in our upper classes.  But it is more than this; it is an attempt, a very noble and successful attempt, to Christianize the society of our youth, through the only practicable channel—­hearty and brotherly sympathy with their feelings; a book, in short, which a father might well wish to see in the hands of his son.”—­London Times.
