"This is no furniture for the scholar's library, but a book for the
winter evening school-room, when the tasks are over and the hour for
bed draws near; and honest Alan, who was a grim old fire-eater in his
day, has in this new avatar no more desperate purpose than to steal
some young gentleman's attention from his Ovid, carry him awhile into
the Highlands and the last century, and pack him to bed with some
engaging images to mingle with his dreams."--_R. L. S._

"Here is a tale which extends over many years and travels into many
countries. By a peculiar fitness of circumstance the writer began,
continued it and concluded it among distant and divers scenes.
Above all, he was much upon the sea. The character and fortune of
the fraternal enemies, the hall and shrubbery of Durrisdeer, the
problem of MacKellar's homespun and how to shape it for superior
flights: these were his company on deck in many star-reflecting
harbors, ran often in his mind at sea to the tune of slatting canvas,
and were dismissed (something of the suddenest) on the approach of
squalls."--_From the Author's Dedicatory Letter_.

"This is the story of how a woman's love triumphed over neglect and
wrong, of how the unrequited passion in the great heart of a boy trod
its devious paths in the way to death, until it stood alone with its
burden of sin before God and the pitiless deep.... It is true as
Truth, and what it owes to him who writes it now with feelings deeper
than he can say, is less than it asks of all by whom it is read in
sympathy and simple faith."--_The Author_.

"For me there has been a pathetic, and, I think, purifying interest
in looking into the soul of this man and seeing it corrode beneath
the touch of a powerful temptation until at the last, when it seems
to be spent, it rises again in strength and shows that the human
heart has no depths in which it is lost."--_Preface of the Author_.
