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.’
The Freeman says:—
‘It is a concise, well written, and admirable narrative of the great Reformer’s life, and in its estimate of his character and work it is calm, dispassionate, and well balanced.... It is a welcome addition to our Knox literature.’
