Errice OO Cents. | 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 et entered the state of matrimony, andto 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.—N. Y. Sun, Murch 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 Weekly. It furnishes a great deal of information, which will be valuable for reference, con- ane American ladies who have married titled foreigners.—Bos.on Saturday Evening azette. Ot course American “gentlemen” cannot “come in” when such a book is produced. They will have to wait untilsome century when women rule Europe and carry ali 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.—Soston 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 xo and do likewise.—Pittsburgh Bulle in, March 15. “Titled Americans” is a valuable and uniqne work of considerable labor and ex- pense, and something every person in society will be interested in.—J/. ¥.

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 gives 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 strinus.—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 marriaveable maidens and ambitious widows. it will doubtless be hidden away in some secret corner of the boudoir, or carried off in the traveliney trunk across the ocean, to be consulted, cherished and studied ; while the names of more than two hundred American women who have snecessfully hunted down the titled game will arouse the envy and hasten the alpitation of many a husband-hunting aspirant to wedded privileges.— V.
