" The flashes of the author's wit must not blind us to the ripeness of his wisdom, nor the genera 

 playfulness of his O'Dowderies allow us to forget the ample evidence that underneath them lurks 

 one of the most earnest and observant spirits of the present time." Daily Review.

 tune to peruse." Globe.

 that every reader will be delighted with it. Skefl' Darner, and Tony, and Count M'Caskey, will live 

 in the memory for many a day. They are all three, in their way, perfectly original conceptions, 

 and are as true to the life as any portraits ever drawn by pen and ink." Standard,

 evidence of close observation and the keenest insight, united to real dramatic feeling and a style 

 of unusual eloquence and power." Westminster Review. 



" The ' Perpetual Curate ' is nevertheless one of the best pictures of Clerical Life that has ever 

 been drawn, and it is essentially true." The Times.

" The artists have excelled themselves in the engravings which they have furnished. Seizing the 

 spirit of Mr Aytoun's 'Ballads' as perhaps none but Scotchmen could have seized it, they have 

 thrown their whole strength into the work with a heartiness which others would do well to imitate. 

 Whoever there may be that does not already know these ' Lays,' we recommend at once to make 

 their acquaintance in this edition, wherein author and artist illustrate each other as kindred spirits
