‘The story of James Hogg’s manly, honourable battle with poverty, and of his literary achievement, is excellently told by Sir George Douglas.’
The Expository Times says:—
‘The book is accurate, and must have cost research, but it is written in a pleasant gossipy manner, quite as if Hogg had flung the flavour of Hogg’s writings over his biographer.’
Saint Andrew says:—
‘We have no hesitation in saying that this valuable and interesting volume will be welcomed by the Scots people as heartily as any that have preceded it.’
Of THOMAS CAMPBELL, by J. Cuthbert Hadden,
The Scotsman says:—
‘A very useful, compact, well-digested, and well-written account of Campbell’s career and literary labours.’
