"Everybody who has failed to read 'Tom Cringle's Log' should do so at
once. The 'Quarterly Review' went so far as to say that the papers
composing it, when it first appeared in 'Blackwood,' were the most
brilliant series of the time, and that time one unrivalled for the
number of famous magazinists existing in it. Coleridge says, in his
'Table Talk,' that the 'Log' is most excellent; and these verdicts have
been ratified by generations of men and boys, and by the manifestation
of Continental approval which is shown by repeated translations. The
engravings illustrating the present issue are excellent."--_Standard._

"This story, so fresh, so powerfully written, and so tragic, stands out
from among its fellows like a piece of newly-coined gold in a handful of
dim commonplace shillings. Tales of pastoral experience and scenes from
clerical life we have had in plenty, but the sacred things of the
conventicle, the relative position of pastor and flock in a
Nonconforming 'connection,' were but guessed at by the world outside,
and terrible is the revelation."--_Westminster Review._
