After "Cheap Clothes" are two Prefaces: One addressed to the Undergraduates of Cambridge (pp. 111-135): The second, written in 1854, addressed to the WorkingMen of Great Britain (pp. 137-144).

Blackwood criticised Alton Locke as "so preposterously absurd as rather to excite "ridicule than to move sympathy," and the London Quarterly termed it “trash which "could not make any impression, even to excite curiosity." It was first published in 1849.

E. P. Whipple says: "Mill would have never doubted that Kingsley was as honest "in the freaks of feeling which made him a Tory as in the freaks of feeling which "made him a Socialist. The real lesson taught by his life is this: that he was the "most impulsive, the most inconsistent, the most passionate, and at heart the most con"scientious of human beings."

This is "a picture of Life in the fifth century," and Kingsley has "closely fol"lowed authentic History."

She was ultimately stoned to death and her books burnt in the Mahommedan destruction of the Alexandrian Library.
