EXTRACTS FROM NOTICES OF THESE PAPERS
AS THEY APPEARED IN THE TIMES!

"The Times' Special Reporter has done good service by setting before the public the unvarnished and unblackened picture of the Agricultural Labourer and his surroundings." -Quarterly Review.

"We are indebted for the facts of this case chiefly to 'The Times' Correspondent, whose letters are on all hands admitted to contain accurate statements, and whose tone is one of great fairness to all concerned. It is, in our judgment, impossible to speak too highly of the manner in which the writer has discharged a difficult duty."-Blackwood's Magazine.

"Your Correspondent in the Eastern Counties has given a most impartial and just account of the many advantages and disadvantages that are shared in alike by the employer and the employed in every phase of their different circumstances. No description so elaborate and so true has ever before been given to the world, reflecting, as the letters of your Correspondent have done, a very mirror of rural life."-A South Wilts Farmer in The Times.
