“In Mr. Martin Canada has an artist who is well fitted to do her justice. He has the true sense for both colour and space, and while he is not afraid of rich and startling contrasts, he always contrives to give his pictures something of the clearness and delicacy of the Canadian atmosphere.”

Campbell, Wilfred J. Ian of the Orcades. †$1.50. Revell.
A tale of the North Sea coast of Scotland in the days of King Robert Third. “It is full of dark deeds and violence, and the lusts of the flesh, and we suppose that the author desires to put the picture forward as a genuine study of the past.” (Ath.)
“Mr. Campbell’s effort cannot compare with the best of the sort. It is more conventional, more titanic, and somewhat sentimental.”

“The book is to be valued, not merely as a thrilling tale of bygone times, but as a curious work of art by which an author has produced the impression of a chant with words that are common and are musical simply by imparting into them the meaning of old fancies.”
