“Whether judged by its charming coloured illustrations or by the extraordinary interest of its letterpress, it is worthy of its theme, and one of the most desirable mementoes we have of Sir Walter.... The illustrations are excellent, and the colouring is bright and effective without being tawdry.”—British Weekly.
“Mr. W. S. Crockett tells the story of Abbotsford excellently well in a series of very readable chapters.... Mr. Smith’s twenty clever water-colours not only give many aspects of Scott’s home and its immediate surroundings, but include also some very charming pictures of Melrose Abbey and other famous spots in the district. Letterpress and illustrations together make an extremely pleasant book.”—Literary World.
