"The Art of Living Long and Happily" by Henry Hardwicke. A most delightful work, full of useful maxims and interesting anecdotes. If anyone has time to devote to the subject, let him read this book and he will not regret it.
–The Literary World, Vol. 53 [1896]
A novel volume on a subject of universal interest. It consists largely of wise sayings of ancient and modern philosophers, and casts little new light on the subject. The author differs from the most of mankind, and notably from Macauley, — if he thinks, as his preface would indicate, that the philosophers who reasoned on happiness and virtue in the abstract have made more men happy than those whose philosophy took a more practical turn. He devotes a chapter to trying to prove "That Happiness Should be Systematically Pursued," but only succeeds in proving that it comes more surely when indirectly pursued. Though the book is largely theory, it contains many practical hints on that occupation which every free-born American is legally entitled to practice, — "the pursuit of happiness."
–The Harvard Advocate, Vol. 61 [1896]
