But here the bathers pay no fees, wear no bathing dresses, have no absinthe or cigarettes. [...] It is a lively scene, very picturesque. Some of the horses are ridden into the water by men whose red caps show them to be soldiers, others have been taken from between the shafts of wagons and carts in the street above, and their drivers in blouses, or shirts, or naked to the waist, ride them splashing and floundering about, men and horses equally wet.\""@en .

[...] We all know how much more beautiful are the pictures which have never been painted than any pictures that actually exist. [...] it must be said the Mr. Merrill has acquitted himself of his task very creditably indeed. Among the thirty illustrations [...] are many which are most interesting and sympathetic.

"The first twelve have a double interest, being sketches from the scene of \"Adam Bede\", and to the readers of this immortal book they will prove very interesting. \"The Bromley Arms\" is very delicate in handling, and the color is quiet and cool; the grays are soft but rather ordinary; there is a lack of fine feeling for minute gradation. The perspective is more than good; the tottering stone wall in the left foreground is particularly well managed; the geese are cleverly drawn and with considerable character."@en . . .
