FOR GOOD CONSIDERATION. By EDWARD BUTLER. "...Forgive me if I say no more. Yes, one thing more. Edward Butler (I do not know him) has sent me a charming little book with a quaint title, 'For Good Consideration.' It is published by Elliot Stock, Paternoster Row, London, and in it there is an article 'Advice to Young Orators.' I have read it and the whole book with much pleasure. I think it would interest you."--The Late Rt. Hon. John Bright. "There is much wisdom in this work."--Morning Post. "The tone of the book is thoroughly good."--Public Opinion. 'A charming little work; chatty, thoughtful, and original, the product of a cultured mind, and one that can amuse as well as edify."--Bookseller. 'An exceedingly pleasant, readable, and suggestive volume of essays. The style is clear, strong, and simple."--Manchester Examiner. "Full of wise and kindly counsel."--Literary World. "These nine chatty chapters are a remarkable compound of logical acumen, spiritual penetration, sanctified common sense, and practical wisdom--a set of rare and goodly dishes of literary fare, garnished with the condiments of choice speech, and much of it having a strong, rich, legal flavour, that proves the author to be 'a limb of the law.' The essays are perfect models of high and pure thinking as applied to some of the varied spheres and functions of modern life."--Christian.
