2 WORKS PUBLISHED BY A. AND W. MACKENZIE. 



Mr. Mackenzie could not have published his book at a more opportune time. 

 People who want to know what is wrong with the Highlands will find in its 

 pages what they seek. . . . The production of this history must have 

 involved much patient labour, but it has been a labour of love. No man 

 was better fitted to undertake the task than Mr. Mackenzie, and we are 

 glad to congratulate him on the completeness of his success. Every High- 

 lander, every lover of his country, should read and read again this ' Tale 

 of what Rome once hath borne of what Rome yet may bear '.'' Daily 

 Review. 



" There have been few contributions to the Literature of the Land Laws 

 of late years more striking and important, . . . the only authentic and 

 consecutive work upon the history of this subject . . . To those who 

 wish to know the oppression they [the Highlanders] have groaned under 

 for countless years, we must recommend Mr. Mackenzie's fascinating 

 pages. " Dundee Advertiser. 



"Apart from this valuable republication [Donald Macleod's 'Gloomy 

 Memories'] the volume before us deserves a careful study at the hands of all 

 our politicians." Liverpool Mercury. 



" Contains a series of tables showing the population of the counties of 

 Perth, Argyll, Inverness, Ross, and Cromarty, Sutherland, and Caithness, 

 at each decennial period from 1801 to 1881, both inclusive, with a tabulated 

 statement showing the population of the parishes within those counties in 

 1831, 1841, 1851, and 1881 ; and in the case of Sutherland, the population 

 is given for each decade since 1801. These tables will be found of much 

 value by those engaged in the study of the causes which have led to the 

 decrease of the rural population in the Highlands during the present 

 century." Edinburgh. Courant. 



" Mr. Mackenzie has produced a volume that ought to be in the hands 

 of every member of the Legislature, and which is simply indispensable to 

 all who would rightly understand the problem now awaiting solution. Him- 

 self the son of a crofter, he has rendered a service to that class which will 

 secure for his name an enduring place in the annals ef Scottish patriotism." 

 The author of '' Literary Notes," in the Daily Mail. 



"The story from first to last of the unjust usurpation of which the 

 Highland tenants and crofters have been the victims, as unfolded in a 

 volume of encyclopsediac fulness, published this week by the able and 

 patriotic editor of the Celtic Magazine, is one of the saddest that was ever 

 told concerning a patient, God-fearing, and in every way most deserving 

 people." Kilmarnock Standard. 



" Mr. Mackenzie's book appears opportunely for those Members of 

 Parliament who are interested in the motion [for a Royal Commission] on 

 the position of the Highland Crofters. A considerable portion of the work 

 is taken up with ... a description of the present state of the High- 

 lands, a survey of the position held by the Braes Crofters, and by statistical 

 tables that give sad confirmation to most of Mr. Mackenzie's statements. 

 The narrative throughout is deeply, often painfully, interesting." Leeds 

 Mercury.
