Life of Smollett. By David Hannay. 



" A capital record of a writer who still remains one of the great masters 

 of the English novel." — Saturday Review. 



" Mr. Hannay is excellently equipped for writing the life of Smollett. 

 As a specialist on the history of the eighteenth century navy, he is at a

 Smollett's three principal novels. Moreover, he has a complete acquaint- 

 ance with the Spanish romancers, from whom Smollett drew so much of 

 his inspiration. His criticism is generally acute and discriminating; and 

 his narrative is well arranged, compact, and accurate," — St. James's 

 Gazette.

 very real and true things." — Mrs. Anne Thackeray Ritchie on 

 " Thackeray and his Biographers," in Illustrated London News.
