Full of spirit, originality and humour.— Morning Chronicle.
Never did it fall to our lot to read a more irresistibly laughable work than the
one now before us.—Despatch. |
The humour of Mr. Slick is by far the best thing of its kind we have ever seen.
It is indeed truly delightful. Such a book as this stands in need of neither our
praise nor recommendation. It will make its own way; for it is of the right stuff.

and country.—Adtlas.
A very clever work. It is full of original humour and striking national charac¬

donian Mercury. :

One of those genuinely original works which carry their own letter of recom¬
mendation, and are every where relished.— Globe.

MEMOIRS OF THE LIFE OF
SIR WALTER SOOT.
BY J. G. LOCKHART, Ese.
The appearance of Lockhart’s Life of Scott has been looked forward to with no
ordinary degree of expectation. The interest which its announcement excited was
as general as it was intense, It is impossible that the task of bringing out such a
book could have fallen into better hands. J.G. Lockhart isa man whose high
character, independent of his relationship, insures the absence of every thing im¬
proper or indecorous in a biographical work, and whose eminence as an author is a
sufficient pusweiey for the good taste and ability with which the whole plan and
details will be managed. If any thing were wanting to prove Mr. Lockhart’s fit¬
ness for the duty which has devolved upon him, it is to be found in his § Life ot
Burns.” — Aberdeen Herald.
