"Sir George Douglas, in addition to summarising their biographies, criticises their works with excellent and well-weighed appreciation."--_Literary World._ =Norman Macleod.= By JOHN WELLWOOD. "Its general picturesqueness is effective, while the criticism is eminently liberal and sound."--_Scots Pictorial._ =Sir Walter Scott.= By GEORGE SAINTSBURY. "Mr. Saintsbury's miniature is a gem of its kind."--_Pall Mall Gazette._ =Kirkcaldy of Grange.= By LOUIS A. BARBÉ. "A conscientious and thorough piece of work, showing wide and accurate knowledge."--_Glasgow Herald._ =Robert Fergusson.= By A. B. GROSART, D.D., LL.D. "It is a creditable, useful, and painstaking book, a genuine contribution to Scottish literary history."--_British Weekly._ =James Thomson.= By WILLIAM BAYNE. "The story of Thomson's claim to the disputed authorship of 'Rule Britannia' is sustained by his countryman with spirit and in our judgment with success."--_Literature._ OLIPHANT ANDERSON & FERRIER'S "FAMOUS SCOTS" SERIES. =Mungo Park.= By T. BANKS MACLACHLAN. "Not only a charming life-story, if at times a pathetic one, but a vivid chapter in the romance of Africa."--_Leeds Mercury._ =David Hume.= By HENRY CALDERWOOD, LL.D. "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."--_Scotsman._ =William Dunbar.= By OLIPHANT SMEATON. "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."--_Bailie._ =Sir William Wallace.= By Professor MURISON. "Mr. Murison is to be heartily congratulated on this little book. After much hard and discriminate labour, he has pieced together by far the best, one might say the only rational and coherent, account of Wallace that exists."--_Speaker._ =Robert Louis Stevenson.= By MARGARET M. BLACK. "Certainly one of the most charming biographies we have ever come across. The writer has style, sympathy, distinction, and understanding. We were loth to put the book aside. Its one fault is that it is too short."--_Outlook._ =Thomas Reid.= By Professor CAMPBELL FRASER. "Supplies what must be allowed to be a distinct want in our literature, in the shape of a brief, popular, and accessible biography of the founder of the so-called Scottish School of Philosophy, written with notable perspicuity and sympathy by one who has made a special study of the problems that engaged the mind of Reid."--_Scotsman._ =Pollok and Aytoun.= By ROSALINE MASSON. "Miss Masson tells the story of the lives of her two subjects in a bright and readable way. Her criticisms are sound and judicious, and altogether the little volume is a very acceptable addition to the series."--_North British Daily Mail._ =Adam Smith.= By HECTOR C. MACPHERSON.
