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.” Of HUGH MILLER, by W. KEITH LEASK, the _Expository Times_ says:-- “It is a right good book and a right true biography.... There is a very fine sense of Hugh Miller’s greatness as a man and a Scotsman; there is also a fine choice of language in making it ours.” The _Bookseller_ says:--
