“A truly interesting and most affecting memoir. ‘Irving’s Life’ ought to have a niche in every gallery of religious biography. There are few lives that will be fuller of instruction, interest, and consolation.”--_Saturday Review._ WORKS BY GEORGE MAC DONALD, LL.D. _Each in One Volume, Frontispiece, and Uniformly Bound, Price 5s._ ALEC FORBES OF HOWGLEN. “No account of this story would give any idea of the profound interest that pervades the work from the first page to the last.”--_Athenæum._ “A novel of uncommon merit. Sir Walter Scott said he would advise no man to try to read ‘Clarissa Harlowe’ out loud in company if he wished to keep his character for manly superiority to tears. We fancy a good many hardened old novel-readers will feel a rising in the throat as they follow the fortunes of Alec and Annie.”--_Pall Mall Gazette._ “The whole story is one of surpassing excellence and beauty.”--_Daily News._ “This book is full of good thought and good writing. Dr. Mac Donald looks in his stories more to the souls of men and women than to their social outside. He reads life and Nature like a true poet.”--_Examiner._ ROBERT FALCONER. “‘Robert Falconer’ is a work brimful of life and humour and of the deepest human interest. It is a work to be returned to again and again for the deep and searching knowledge it evinces of human thoughts and feelings.”--_Athenæum._ “This story abounds in exquisite specimens of the word-painting in which Dr. Mac Donald excels, charming transcripts of Nature, full of light, air, and colour.”--_Saturday Review._ “This noble story displays to the best advantage all the powers of Dr. Mac Donald’s genius.”--_Illustrated London News._ “‘Robert Falconer’ is the noblest work of fiction that Dr. Mac Donald has yet produced.”--_British Quarterly Review._ “The dialogues in ‘Robert Falconer’ are so finely blended with humour and pathos as to make them in themselves an intellectual treat to which the reader returns again and again.”--_Spectator._ DAVID ELGINBROD. “A novel which is the work of a man of genius. It will attract the highest class of readers.”--_Times._ “There are many beautiful passages and descriptions in this book. The characters are extremely well drawn.”--_Athenæum._ “A clever novel. The incidents are exciting, and the interest is maintained to the close. It may be doubted if Sir Walter Scott himself ever painted a Scotch fireside with more truth than Dr. Mac Donald.”--_Morning Post._ “David Elginbrod is the finest character we have met in fiction for many a day. The descriptions of natural scenery are vivid, truthful, and artistic; the general reflections are those of a refined, thoughtful, and poetical philosopher, and the whole moral atmosphere of the book is lofty, pure, and invigorating.”--_Globe._ SIR GIBBIE. “‘Sir Gibbie’ is a book of genius.”--_Pall Mall Gazette._
