Of THOMAS REID, by Professor Campbell Fraser,
The North British Daily Mail says:—
‘A model of sympathetic appreciation and of succinct and lucid exposition.’
The Scotsman says:—
‘Professor Campbell Fraser’s volume on Thomas Reid is one of the most able and valuable of an able and valuable series. He supplies what must be allowed to be a distinct want in our literature, in the shape of a brief, popular, and accessible biography of the founder of the so-called Scottish School of Philosophy, written with notable perspicuity and sympathy by one who has made a special study of the problems that engaged the mind of Reid.’
The Glasgow Herald says:—
‘We do not know any volume of the “Famous Scots Series” that deserves or is likely to receive a heartier welcome from the educated public than this life and estimate of Reid by Professor Campbell Fraser. The writer is no amateur, but a past-master in the subject of Scottish philosophy, and it has evidently been a real pleasure to him to expiscate quite a number of new facts regarding the professional and private life of its best representative.’
The Pall Mall Gazette says:—
‘The little work is of high excellence—comprehensive in view, dear in exposition, and exemplary in literary style.’
