and has used them to produce a portrait that is both lifelike
and well balanced."

The _People's Friend_ says:--

"Presents a very interesting sketch of the life of the poet, as
well as a well-balanced estimate and review of his works."

The _Edinburgh Dispatch_ says:--

"The author has shown scholarship and much enthusiasm in his
task."

The _Daily Record_ says:--

"The kindly, vain, and pompous little wig-maker lives for us in
Mr. Smeaton's pages."

The _Glasgow Herald_ says:--

"A careful and intelligent study."

Of HUGH MILLER, by W. KEITH LEASK, the _Expository Times_ says:--

"It is a right good book and a right true biography.... There is
a very fine sense of Hugh Miller's greatness as a man and a

admirable series."

The _Daily News_ says:--

"Leaves on us a very vivid impression."

The _Freeman_ says:--

"It is a concise, well written, and admirable narrative of the
great Reformer's life, and in its estimate of his character and
work it is calm, dispassionate, and well balanced.... It is a
welcome addition to our Knox literature."

The _Speaker_ says:--

"There is vision in this book, as well as knowledge."

The _Sunday School Chronicle_ says:--

"Everybody who is acquainted with Mr. Taylor Innes's exquisite
lecture on Samuel Rutherford will feel instinctively that he is
just the man to do justice to the great Reformer, who is more to
Scotland 'than any million of unblameable Scotsmen who need no
forgiveness.' His literary skill, his thorough acquaintance with
Scottish ecclesiastical life, his religious insight, his
