Excerpt from Eton School Days: Or Recollections of an Etonian "The characters are well described. Reginald Purefoy and Butler Burke and Chorley are, no doubt, types of the Etonians. The perusal of the volume will fill up a vacant hour pleasantly enough, especially if the reader be, or has been, an Etonian." - Morning Advertiser. "Eton boys and old Etonians will find pleasure in glancing at this narrative of life in the old college. The 'Old Etonian' aims at fidelity to facts, and makes no attempt to represent boys as better than they are." - Athenoeum. "Among the followers of 'Tom Brown' the 'Old Etonian' is not the least worthy. He has written a very Etonish book, which all public-school boys will read with interest." - Globe. "Eton School Days' is a capital book, which will be read with pleasure by many old boys, as well as those who are looking forward to the day when they hope to enter on the pleasures and pains of that great public school. The boys are good healthy flesh-and-blood boys, who go through their share of toils and vexations, amuse themselves, and get into scrapes without cant or affectation." - Glasgow Herald. "A capital work this is, and one that we have found to be thoroughly enjoyable. It is admirably well done, full of life and animation." - Sun.
