SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS: The title page of this volume is not sufficiently long, for besides all it promises it neglects to announce that there is also alist of available noblemen who have have not ret entered the state of tenia and to whom, presumably, American beauty backed y American gold may successfully appeal.—N. Y. Herald, March 16. The book is remarkably complete and is valuable as a reference, in addition to be- ing decidedly interesting.—V. Y. World, March 18. The book gives all the attainable facts and _ figures concerning rich American girls who have married foreigners of more or less distinction.—\. Y. Sun, Mureh 14. In fact ‘‘ Titled Americans” is a book that should be in the hands of each unmarried female in this country, and from it she should learn the glorious destiny that she may achieve.— Munsey’s W eekly. It furnishes a great deal of information, which will be valuable for reference, con- cerning American ladies who have married titled foreigncrs.—Bos.on Saturday Hvening Gazette. Of course American “gentlemen” cannot “come in” when such a book is produced. They will have to wait until some century when women rule Europe and carry all the purchasable’titles in their own right.—Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Embraced in this carefully compiled book, which is vastly entertaining in its way, are personal sketches of all the bachelor peers of Britain. We take it that the morai of the work for our American maidens is, “Go thou and do likewise,” and that its mission is to show them where and how.—Boston T'imes. Here is a volume for which young American women will be truly grateful. It con- tains the names of two hundred and five American girls who have married foreigners. This is of course very exciting reading, and will probably keep many girls awake at night, planning to go and do likewise.—Pittsburgh Bulle.in, March 15. “Titled Americans” is a valuable and unique work of considerable labor and ex- pense, and something every person in society will be interested in.—.. Y. Evening Telegram, March 13. Street & Smith have issued a rather unique book, but one that, in these days when titled foreigners are gobbling up and carrying off so many American belles and rich girls, will not be without use for reference.—Detrott Tribune. ; The only book of the kind ever published. This is an interesting and unique work of considerable labor and expense, and something many society people will be interested in, as it ives a complete record to date of all American ladies who have married titled foreigners, illustrated with their armorial bearings. Young ladies traveling abroad should not fail to secure a copy as it will be of great assistance in regulating their heart strings.—Himira Telegram. If anything were needed to crystallize the craze of some American women for titled husbands it has been provided in this veritable hand-book for marriageable maidens and ambitious widows. It will doubtless be hidden away in some secret corner of the boudoir, or carried off in the traveling trunk across the ocean, to be consulted, cherished -and studied ; while the names of more than two hundred American women who have successfully hunted down the titled game will arouse the envy and hasten the ha nee of many a husband-hunting aspirant to wedded privileges.—N.
