LEWSIANA. 



By W. ANDEESON SMITH. 



GLOBE. " Lewsiana " is a very clever hook. Mr Smith understands well the 

 feeling of those brought up by the sea-shore in the neighbourhood of 

 wild moors and desolate mountains, and in some introductory verses 

 renders the feeling with considerable pathos and grace. His descriptions 

 of the people, with their mingled simplicity and shrewdness, are quite as 

 good as his remarks on the country. 



WORLD. We are satisfied that Mr Anderson Smith is a veracious chronicler, 

 who has taken great pains thoroughly to master his subject ; who writes 

 in a light, agreeable, and graphic style, and, to judge from the illustra- 

 tions which accompany his letter-press, has the gift of pencil as well 

 as pen. 



SPECTATOR. It is true that Mr Anderson Smith's papers in the Glasgow 

 Herald had the precedence in point of time of Mr Black's novel ... he 

 has therefore done wisely to reprint them, with many others, in a 

 separate volume, one which is really of considerable interest, bringing, 

 as it does, most distinctly before us the lives of the inhabitants of these 

 little-known islands, and grouping together graphically, yet succinctly, 

 much information concerning their flora, their fauna, and their ancient 

 history. 



INVERNESS COURIER.--MT Smith writes in the spirit of one who appreciates 

 the humble virtues and understands the peculiarities of these isolated 

 islanders. He does not come, like so many strangers, merely to wonder 

 and smile. We can commend the book. 



STIRLING JOURNAL. The author is always ready to do justice to the many 

 good qualities of his Hebrideans, whom he likes well ; and he is enthusi- 

 astic in his praises of the good points in the wild scenery, which he is 

 never tired of exploring. His otf-hand sketches are quaint, graphic, 

 vivid, instinct with qualities which could not exist apart from truth-
