FAMOUS SCOTS THOMAS CARLYLE By HECTOR C. MACPHERSON 'One of the very best little books on Carlyle yet written, far outweighing in value some more pretentious works with which we are familiar.'—Literary World. 'We heartily congratulate author and publishers on the happy commencement of this admirable enterprise.'—British Weekly. 'As an estimate of the Carlylean philosophy and of Carlyle's place in literature and his influence in the domains of morals, politics, and social ethics, the volume reveals not only care and fairness, but insight and a large capacity for original thought and judgment.'—Scotsman. 'Lets us get a correct glimpse into the complex workings of a master-mind, and is lighted up by many airy touches of fact and fancy.'—Weekly Free Press. 'A fascinating story of a wonderful writer.'—Leeds Mercury. 'An eminently readable book.'—Evening Dispatch. 'Is distinctly creditable to the publishers, and worthy of a national series such as they have projected.'—Glasgow Daily Record. 'The book is written in an able, masterly, and painstaking manner.'—Educational News. ALLAN RAMSAY By OLIPHANT SMEATON 'Graphic and winning.'—Dundee Advertiser. 'Gives many quaint and pleasant glimpses of Scottish life in the last century.'—Newcastle Chronicle. 'A most interesting monograph.'—Arbroath Herald. 'Discussing Ramsay as a pastoral poet and elegist, the biographer gives an able analysis of his chief writings. The whole book is, indeed, marked by authority and ability.'—Banffshire Journal. 'A new and most important addition to our national biography.'—Scottish Notes and Queries. 'Eminently readable.'—Border Advertiser. 'The story throughout is told with vigour.'—Glasgow Citizen. 'Presents a very interesting sketch of the life of the poet, as well as a well-balanced estimate and review of his works.'—Peoples Friend. 'The author has shown scholarship and much enthusiasm in his task.'—Edinburgh Dispatch. 'The kindly, vain, and pompous little wig-maker lives for us in Mr. Smeaton's pages.'—Daily Record. 'A careful and intelligent study.'—Glasgow Herald. 'A very capable piece of literary craftsmanship by a competent hand.'—Edinburgh Evening News. 'It is not a patchwork picture, but one in which the worker, taking genuine interest in his subject and bestowing conscientious pains on his task, has his materials well in hand, and has used them to produce a portrait that is both lifelike and well-balanced.'—Scotsman.
