riend._

"The book is readable on every page, and throws much light on the
history of the Modern Athens. Mr. Graham has indeed used his wide
acquaintance with the diaries and memoirs of the eighteenth century to
good advantage, and gives us a book more readable than most novels, as
well as full of instruction."--_World._

"Eminently readable, full of anecdote and brilliantly described
incident, and illustrated by many admirable portraits."--_Pall Mall
Gazette._

"Not a page of what he writes but is suggestive, inspiring above all
things in his readers a desire for more."--_Daily Mail._

SOCIAL LIFE OF SCOTLAND IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY

By HENRY GREY GRAHAM

Author of "Scottish Men of Letters in the Eighteenth Century"

FOURTH EDITION IN ONE VOLUME DEMY 8vo., CLOTH

12s.

Some Press Opinions.

"The outcome of wide and wise reading, this is a book to be highly
commended.... A thoughtful, humorous, and vivid exposition of Scottish
men and manners in the last century."--_Athenaeum._

"Here is a book we believe to be without a rival in the same field--a
work in which the author takes us into the inner life of a
community--recalling to us, as from the time of oblivion, the homes and
habits and labours of the Scottish peasantry; the modes and manners and
thoughts of society; showing us what the people believed and what they
practised, how they farmed and how they traded, how their children were
taught, how their bodies were nourished, and how their souls were
tended."--_Daily Chronicle._

"There is not a page in the two volumes which does not contribute some
details to make up a singularly vivid and interesting picture of our
country's past."--_Glasgow Herald._

"His picture of the domestic life and industry, the rural economy, the
religious customs and theological opinions, the superstitions, the laws,
and the educational institutions of the age of our great-grandfathers,
is as vivid in colouring and effective in grouping and composition as it
is authentic and trustworthy as a piece of history."--_Scotsman._
