OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON THE ‘FAMOUS SCOTS’ SERIES.
Of THOMAS CARLYLE, by H. C. MACPHERSON,
The _British Weekly_ says:--
‘We congratulate the publishers on the in every way attractive
appearance of the first volume of their new series. The typography is
everything that could be wished, and the binding is most tasteful....
We heartily congratulate author and publishers on the happy
commencement of this admirable enterprise.’
The _Literary World_ says:--
‘One of the very best little books on Carlyle yet written, far
outweighing in value some more pretentious works with which we are
familiar.’
The _Scotsman_ says:--
‘As an estimate of the Carlylean philosophy, and of Carlyle’s place
in literature and his influence in the domains of morals, politics,
and social ethics, the volume reveals not only care and fairness, but
insight and a large capacity for original thought and judgment.’
The _Glasgow Daily Record_ says:--
‘Is distinctly creditable to the publishers, and worthy of a national
series such as they have projected.’
The _Educational News_ says:--
‘The book is written in an able, masterly, and painstaking manner.’
Of ALLAN RAMSAY, by OLIPHANT SMEATON,
The _Scotsman_ says:--
‘It is not a patchwork picture, but one in which the writer, taking
genuine interest in his subject, and bestowing conscientious pains on
his task, has his materials well in hand, and has used them to produce
a portrait that is both lifelike and well balanced.’
The _People’s Friend_ says:--
‘Presents a very interesting sketch of the life of the poet, as well
as a well-balanced estimate and review of his works.’
The _Edinburgh Dispatch_ says:--
‘The author has shown scholarship and much enthusiasm in his task.’
The _Daily Record_ says:--
‘The kindly, vain, and pompous little wig-maker lives for us in Mr.
Smeaton’s pages.’
The _Glasgow Herald_ says:--
‘A careful and intelligent study.’
