--"Mr. S. Baring-Gould shows himself       |
  | to be very much alive in 'Devonshire Characters,' and we     |
  | cannot recall a case in which his astonishing literary s     |
  | energies have been put to more interesting use ... a         |
  | handsome as well as interesting addition to every            |
  | library...."                                                 |
  |                                                              |
  | _Western Daily Mercury._--"... We can most strenuously       |
  | advise all Devonshire men and women who have either a love   |
  | for their county, or a love for a good book, or both, to buy |
  | 'Devonshire Characters.' They will never regret it."         |
  |                                                              |
  | _Guardian._--"... The eccentric lives and the evil           |
  | courses of the odd and the profligate have ever afforded     |
  | more stirring reading than the improving careers of the      |
  | good, and where we might idly turn the pages of Prince, we   |
  | must needs follow with keen interest the roads traversed by  |
  | Mr. Baring-Gould's villains and eccentrics, often to the     |
  | gallows, or the county gaol, or into the weird old legends   |
  | of the West...."                                             |
  |                                                              |
  | _Daily Telegraph._--"... His latest work will probably       |
  | enjoy a longer popularity than anything else that he has     |
  | done. It is a work that for all West Country folk will have  |
  | a lasting fascination, dealing as it does with a large       |
  | number of worthies and unworthies, celebrated people and     |
  | notorious people, who have been associated with the county." |
