" We do not believe that the most practised and able critic in Scotland 

 could have done more to put Wilson's literary labours in a favourable 

 light." Saturday Review. 



" We do not know that we have ever read a biography which has 

 on the whole satisfied us better." Spectator. 



" The authoress has related its details with so much feeling and pathos, 

 that, as a true expression of natural affection, to praise it would be im- 

 pertinent." Times. 



"From his infancy to the hour of -his death he displayed a force of 

 character, a vigour of intellect, and a rectitude of conduct, deserving of 

 admiration, and every portion of his life has been worthily recorded 

 by his daughter." Observer. 



"His life was undoubtedly worthy to be written, and his daugh- 

 ter has written it in a manner which does justice to the subject, and does 

 honour to herself." London Review. 



"Wherever the English tongue is spoken, will be hailed with pleasure 

 this tribute to the memory of ' Christopher North.' "Sun. 



Chronicle of Gudrun ; a story of the North 



Sea. From the mediaeval German. By Emma Lether- 

 brow. With frontispiece by J. Noel Paton, R.S.A. Crown 

 8vo, 9s. 



" The story of Gudrun is one to be read over and over with new de- 

 light This version by Mrs. Letherbrow is a perfect model 



of sweet pure English; clear waters drawn from 'the well of English 

 undefiled.' " London Review. 



" Written in a pure and simple English, it preserves just enough of 

 the old poetic swing to give it life and vigour ; and the delicate touches 

 of character and humour are preserved with the greatest care. The inte- 

 rest never flags from beginning to end ; and that interest is so real and 

 human that the story cannot fail to be popular, even with those who 

 merely read it as a novel, and without regard to its valuable pictures of 

 life and manners in the olden time." Reader. 



" It is perfect as a legend, as a romance, as a poem, as a character 

 sketch, as affording insight into the sublime and simple heroism of a dme 

 but little known and insufficiently reverenced." Morning Post.
