WORKS PUBLISHED BY A. AND W. MACKENZIE. 3 



" Mr. Mackenzie's book is well got up, and forms a handsome volume." 

 Inverness Courier. 



'' In a remarkably opportune volume, invested with a higher than a mere 

 literary interest, Mr. Mackenzie supplies ample materials for arriving at a 

 judgment on the subject of the Highland Clearances. . . . We thank 

 Mr. Mackenzie for his volume ; it is one of the most seasonable that was 

 ever issued from the Scottish press, and we have no doubt that it will 

 speedily be in the hands of every Member of Parliament who is desirous 

 of doing his duty." Christian Leader. 



" It has been the task of Mr. Mackenzie to publish in a collected form 

 much of the floating literature upon this subject, and to bring down the sad 

 story of eviction to our own day. His fluent style makes his book eminently 

 readable, and his extensive knowledge of Celtic affairs at home and abroad 

 ensures accuracy in his statements. . . . The tale is a tragical and 

 moving one, putting to shame the wildest vagaries of romance." People's 

 yournal. 



" Of the materials at his disposal Mr. Mackenzie has made excellent use, 

 and not only that, but he shows commendable courage in publishing it at 

 the present time. . . . It is the only publication that attempts to give 

 anything approaching a full account of the desolation of the Highlands, 

 and the expatriation of the Highlanders. It is thus a valuable addition to 

 the historical literature of the Gael ; and no one can form an intelligent 

 opinion on the present agitation in the Highlands, and the general condition 

 of the people, which finds expression in periodical mendicancy, without 

 first studying the facts which Mr. Mackenzie has so fully, and so well, 

 placed before the public in the handsome volume before us a volume 

 which we cordially recommend to the attention of our readers." Aberdeen 

 Daily Free Press. 



" Your book supplies a decided desideratum in the economical history of 

 the country, and I will lose no opportunity of pressing it on the attention 

 of intelligent readers." Professor John Stuart Blackie. 



The Prime Minister's secretary writes: "I am directed by Mr. Glad- 

 stone to thank you for sending him your ' Highland Clearances,' and to say 

 that he will examine it with interest. " 



"The book has made its appearance at an opportune moment. The 

 relation of the Highlanders to the lords of the soil forms one of the burn- 

 ing questions of the day ; and here we have a complete history of that 

 question, and a collection of facts amply sufficient to enable every unbiassed 

 mind to arrive at just and sound conclusions regarding it. , . . We 

 are certain that it will do important service in hastening the enlightened 

 settlement of a question regarding which hitherto much ignorance as well 

 as much indifference has prevailed." Northern Ensign. 



" No friend of the Crofter should be without this book, and the land- 

 lords will be all the better of ordering it for their libraries. , . Mr. 

 Mackenzie has spared no trouble to make it a thoroughly reliable work. 

 His temerity in publishing details . . is on a par with the justness 

 with which he metes out merit and demerit to the actors in what few will
