Memoir by W. ROBERTSON NICOLL, M.A., LL.D. With Reminiscences by

JOHN SMITH, M.A., and Rev. JAMES STALKER, D.D.
"In more ways than one this volume is full of interest. Dr.
Robertson Nicoll has outlined the personal career of the Professor
of Hebrew for his pupils, and of the Presbyterian minister for his
disciples, whether directly or indirectly under his charge; but,
in supplying them with an admirable selection of memorable words,
has given a wider public the opportunity of making acquaintance
with the thoughtful life of an original religious mind. The value
of the portrait--for it should be valuable to those working for
and with others in the spiritual struggles of the age--lies in the
inspiration it should give to young thinkers in the Christian
Church. In these selections we have little that is not truly
catholic in spirit. We do not mean that Professor Elmslie's papers
are in any way of classic rank, but we do mean that they tell us
of those serene depths over which roll the waves of this
troublesome world, powerless to affect their calm. It is
impossible by extracts to give an idea of the impression of
strength made upon one by what are, after all, only popular
sermons and surface-papers; but we think some will thank us for
calling attention to what we point to as typical of a young
teaching spirit of our own time in its sensitive perceptiveness
and practical administrative activity."--_Spectator._

"Mr. W. Robertson Nicoll has enriched not only the literature of
our day, but the lives of many of us by his sincere, sympathetic,
loyal, and artistic rendering of what he fairly calls 'the only
life of a journalist pure and simple ever written.' ... This
masterly monograph."--_Daily Telegraph._
