ALEC FORBES OF HOWGLEN. 



"No account of this story would give any idea of the profound interest that pervades 

 the work from the first page to the last" AthensKum. 



" A novel of uncommon merit Sir Walter Scott said he would advise no man to try 

 to read 'Clarissa Harlowe' out loud in company if he wished to keep his character for 

 manly superiority to tears. We fancy a good many hardened old novel-readers will feel 

 a rising in the throat as they follow the fortunes of Alec and Annie." Poll Mall Gazette. 



" The whole story is one of surpassing excellence and beauty." Daily Newt. 



" This book is full of good thought and good writing. Dr. Mac Donald looks in his stories 

 more to the souls of men and women than to their social outside. He reads life and 

 Nature like a true poet" Examiner. 



ROBERT FALCONER. 



41 ' Robert Falconer ' is a work brimful of life and humour and of the deepest human 

 interest It is a work to be returned to again and again for the deep and searching 

 knowledge it evinces of human thoughts and feelings." Athenaeum. 



"This story abounds in exquisite specimens of the word-painting In which Dr. Mac 

 Donald excels, charming transcripts of Nature, full of light, air, and colour." Saturday 

 Review. 



' This noble story displays to the best advantage all the powers of Dr. Mac Donald's 

 genius." Illustrated London News. 



" Robert Falconer ' is the noblest work of fiction that Dr. Mac Donald has yet pro- 

 duced." British Quarterly Review. 



" The dialogues in ' Robert Falconer ' are so finely blended with humour and pathos as 

 to make them in themselves an intellectual treat to which the reader returns again and 

 again." (Spectator. 



DAVID ELGINBROD. 



41 A novel which la the work of a man of genius. It will attract the highest class of 

 readers." Times. 



"There are many beautiful passages and descriptions in this book. The characters are 

 extremely well drawn." Athenaeum. 



"A clever novel. The incidents are exciting, and the interest is maintained to the 

 close. It may be doubted if Sir Walter Scott himself ever painted a Scotch fireside with 

 more truth than Dr. Mac Donald." Morning Post. 



"David Elginbrod is the finest character we have met in fiction for many a day. The 

 descriptions of natural scenery are vivid, truthful, and artistic; the general reflections are 

 those of a refined, thoughtful, and poetical philosopher, and the whole moral atmosphere 

 of the book ia lofty, pure, and invigorating." Globe. 



SIR GIBBIE.

"This book has power, pathos, and humour. There is not a character which is not 

 lifelike. There are many powerful scenes, and the portraits will stay long in our 

 memory." Athenaeum. 



" ' Sir Gibbie ' is unquestionably a book of genius. It abounds in humour, pathos, 

 insight into character, and happy touches of description." Graphic. 



"'Sir Gibbie' contains some of the most charming writing the author has yet pro- 

 duced. " Scotsman. 



" ' Sir Gibbie ' is one of the most touching and beautiful stories that has been written 

 for many years. It is not a novel to be idly read and laid aside ; it Is a grand work, to be 

 kept near at hand, and studied and thought over." Morning Post.
