"Here is a book we believe to be without a rival in the same field--a work in which the author takes us into the inner life of a community--recalling to us, as from the time of oblivion, the homes and habits and labours of the Scottish peasantry; the modes and manners and thoughts of society; showing us what the people believed and what they practised, how they farmed and how they traded, how their children were taught, how their bodies were nourished, and how their souls were tended."--_Daily Chronicle._ "There is not a page in the two volumes which does not contribute some details to make up a singularly vivid and interesting picture of our country's past."--_Glasgow Herald._ "His picture of the domestic life and industry, the rural economy, the religious customs and theological opinions, the superstitions, the laws, and the educational institutions of the age of our great-grandfathers, is as vivid in colouring and effective in grouping and composition as it is authentic and trustworthy as a piece of history."--_Scotsman._ A. & C.
