‘“The Charm of Edinburgh” is a pearl of anthologies. Mr. Alfred H. Hyatt, the compiler, had a wealth of material to select from, and has done his work to admiration.’—Christian World.

‘It is a remarkably attractive little volume.’—Globe.

‘That a town of such dignity and beauty as Edinburgh, one so instinct with historical and romantic associations, should have inspired many pens is but natural; and here we have a goodly collection of the tributes, both in verse and prose, that have been paid to the “Queen of the Unconquered North.” Every Scotsman who is proud of his capital will desire to possess this volume, and whoever has paid a visit north will find it to be a very pleasant remembrancer.’—Birmingham Daily Post.

‘This is a very attractive book.’—Spectator.

‘Mr. Hyatt has made a collection which will at once delight the reader and call forth his admiration of the industrious research which it represents.’—Dundee Advertiser.

‘Here in this dainty little compilation are nearly 450 closely-packed pages in description of Edinburgh by eminent and eloquent pens, from Ben Jonson to Mr. Alfred Noyes.... Edina has her thousands of admirers, who will welcome this collection of tributes from her most illustrious sons, and from a score or two strangers as well.’—Daily Chronicle.
