"A novel which is the work of a man of genius. It will attract the highest class of readers."--_Times._ "There are many beautiful passages and descriptions in this book. The characters are extremely well drawn."--_Athenæum._ "A clever novel. The incidents are exciting, and the interest is maintained to the close. It may be doubted if Sir Walter Scott himself ever painted a Scotch fireside with more truth than Dr. Mac Donald."--_Morning Post._ "David Elginbrod is the finest character we have met in fiction for many a day. The descriptions of natural scenery are vivid, truthful, and artistic; the general reflections are those of a refined, thoughtful, and poetical philosopher, and the whole moral atmosphere of the book is lofty, pure, and invigorating."--_Globe._ SIR GIBBIE. "'Sir Gibbie' is a book of genius."--_Pall Mall Gazette._ "This book has power, pathos, and humour. There is not a character which is not life-like. There are many powerful scenes, and the portraits will stay long in our memory."--_Athenæum._ "'Sir Gibbie' is unquestionably a book of genius. It abounds in humour, pathos, insight into character, and happy touches of description."--_Graphic._ "'Sir Gibbie' contains some of the most charming writing the author has yet produced."--_Scotsman._ "'Sir Gibbie' is one of the most touching and beautiful stories that has been written for many years. It is not a novel to be idly read and laid aside; it is a grand work, to be kept near at hand, and studied and thought over."--_Morning Post._ LONDON: HURST AND BLACKETT, LIMITED. EDNA LYALL'S NOVELS EACH IN ONE VOLUME CROWN 8vo, 6s. DONOVAN: A MODERN ENGLISHMAN. "This is a very admirable work. The reader is from the first carried away by the gallant unconventionality of its author. 'Donovan' is a very excellent novel; but it is something more and better. It should do as much good as the best sermon ever written or delivered extempore. The story is told with a grand simplicity, an unconscious poetry of eloquence which stirs the very depths of the heart. One of the main excellencies of this novel is the delicacy of touch with which the author shows her most delightful characters to be after all human beings, and not angels before their time."--_Standard._ WE TWO. "A work of deep thought and much power. Serious as it is, it is now and then brightened by rays of genuine humour. Altogether this story is more and better than a novel."--_Morning Post._ "There is artistic realism both in the conception and the delineation of the personages; the action and interest are unflaggingly sustained from first to last, and the book is pervaded by an atmosphere of elevated, earnest thought."--_Scotsman._ IN THE GOLDEN DAYS.
