ALEC FORBES OF HOWGLEN.
“No account of this story would give any idea of the profound interest that pervades the work from the first page to the last.”—Athenæum.
“A novel of uncommon merit. Sir Walter Scott said he would advise no man to try to read ‘Clarissa Harlowe’ out loud in company if he wished to keep his character for manly superiority to tears. We fancy a good many hardened old novel-readers will feel a rising in the throat as they follow the fortunes of Alec and Annie.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
“The whole story is one of surpassing excellence and beauty.”—Daily News.
“This book is full of good thought and good writing. Dr. Mac Donald looks in his stories more to the souls of men and women than to their social outside. He reads life and Nature like a true poet.”—Examiner.
ROBERT FALCONER.
“‘Robert Falconer’ is a work brimful of life and humour and of the deepest human interest. It is a work to be returned to again and again for the deep and searching knowledge it evinces of human thoughts and feelings.”—Athenæum.
“This story abounds in exquisite specimens of the word-painting in which Dr. Mac Donald excels, charming transcripts of Nature, full of light, air, and colour.”—Saturday Review.
