The _Educational News_ says:-- ‘Mungo Park has his record here summarised in such a manner as to win, inform, and delight.’ Of DAVID HUME, by HENRY CALDERWOOD, The _Speaker_ says:-- ‘The little book is a virile recruit of the “Famous Scots Series.”’ ‘This monograph is both picturesque and critical.’ The _New Age_ says:-- ‘To the many students of philosophy in Scotland a special interest will attach to Professor Calderwood’s sketch of David Hume from the fact that it is the last piece of work done by its lamented author; and very pleasing it is to note the fairness and charity of the judgment passed by the most evangelical of philosophers upon the man who used to be denounced as the prophet of infidelity.’ The _Scotsman_ says:-- ‘Fulfils admirably well the purpose of the writer, which was that of presenting in clear, fair, and concise lines Hume and his philosophy to the mind of his countrymen and of the world.’ The _Publishers’ Circular_ says:-- ‘This biography is well written, and it will no doubt be considered, as it really is, one of the best of the “Famous Scots Series.”’ Of WILLIAM DUNBAR, by OLIPHANT SMEATON, The _Speaker_ says:-- ‘Mr. Smeaton looks narrowly into the characteristics of Dunbar’s genius, and does well to insist on the almost Shakespearian range of his gifts. He contends that in elegy, as well as in satire and allegory, Dunbar’s place in English literature is amongst the great masters of the craft of letters.’ The _Glasgow Herald_ says:-- ‘This is a bright and picturesquely written monograph, presenting in readable form the results of the critical research undertaken by Laing, Schipper, and the other scholars who during the present century have done so much for the elucidation of the greatest of our early Scottish poets.’ The _Bailie_ says:-- ‘A graphic and informed account not only of the man and his works, but of his immediate environment and of the times in which he lived.’ The _Bookman_ says:-- ‘The book is an admirable biography, one of the liveliest and most readable in the series.’ Of SIR WILLIAM WALLACE, by Professor MURISON, The _Speaker_ says:-- ‘Mr. Murison is to be congratulated on this little book. After much hard and discriminative labour he has pieced together by far the best, one might say the only rational and coherent, account of Wallace that exists.’ Mr. William Wallace in the _Academy_ says:-- ‘Professor Murison has acquitted himself of his task like a patriot.’ ‘Capital reading.’ The _Daily News_ says:-- ‘A scholarly and impartial little volume, one of the best yet published in the “Famous Scots Series.”’ The _Pall Mall Gazette_ says:-- ‘A bright little book which will be much relished north of the Tweed, and also among those Scottish exiles who are supposed to be pining away their lives south of it.’ The _New Age_ says:--
