Fyfe, J. Hamilton (James Hamilton)
Inventions -- History; Inventors; Technology -- England -- 19th century
ATHENAEUM.--"_A good deal of ingenuity has been employed for the
purpose of grouping together many of the well-known characters
of that day; and in spite of the general gravity of the
narrative, there is evidence of a considerable sense of quiet
humour both in the characters and in the language employed._"

PALL MALL GAZETTE.--"_Mr. Ryle has evidently a complete
acquaintance with his subject, such as a mere critical historian
would never be likely to acquire; and we believe there is no
book existing which contains nearly the same amount of
information upon it._"
BY THE REV. WILLIAM ARNOT.

REV. JAMES HAMILTON, D.D.--"_The best family book on the
Parables._"
SPURGEON.--"_Mr. Arnot is the fittest man living to expound the
Parables, for he is himself a great master of metaphorical
teaching. In the valuable work before us there is, as is usual
with the author, much striking originality, and much unparaded
learning. The first will make it popular, the second will
commend it to the thoughtful. Many writers have done well upon
this subject, but in some respects, as far as space would permit
him, our friend excels them all. 'The Parables' will be a fit
companion to 'The Proverbs,' and both books will be immortal._"
BY THE REV. A. A. HODGE, D.D.
