“Forty years ago Mr Skene published a small historical work on the
Scottish Highlands which has ever since been appealed to as an authority,
but which has long been out of print. The promise of this youthful effort
is amply fulfilled in the three weighty volumes of his maturer years. As
a work of historical research it ought, in our opinion, to take a very
high rank.”—_Times._
