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.”
The Bookseller says:—
“Mr. Leask gives the reader a clear impression of the simplicity, and yet the greatness, of his hero, and the broad result of his life’s work is very plainly and carefully set forth. A short appreciation of his scientific labours, from the competent pen of Sir Archibald Geikie, and a useful bibliography of his works, complete a volume which is well worth reading for its own sake, and which forms a worthy instalment in an admirable series.”
The Daily News says:—
“Leaves on us a very vivid impression.”
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.”
