“It is not a patchwork picture, but one in which the writer, taking genuine interest in his subject, and bestowing conscientious pains on his task, has his materials well in hand, and has used them to produce a portrait that is both lifelike and well balanced.”
Of HUGH MILLER, by W. Keith Leask,
The Expository Times says:—
“It is a right good book and a right true biography… There is a very fine sense of Hugh Miller’s greatness as a man and a Scotsman; there is also a fine choice of language in making it ours.”
Of JOHN KNOX, by A. Taylor Innes,
Mr Hay Fleming in the Bookman says:—
“A masterly delineation of those stirring times in Scotland, and of that famous Scot who helped so much to shape them.”
Of ROBERT BURNS, by Gabriel Setoun,
The New Age says:—
“It is the best thing on Burns we have yet had, almost as good as Carlyle’s Essay and the pamphlet published by Dr Nichol of Glasgow.”
