OLIPHANT ANDERSON & FERRIER'S "FAMOUS SCOTS" SERIES.

Mungo Park. By T. Banks Maclachlan.

"Not only a charming life-story, if at times a pathetic one, but a vivid chapter in the romance of Africa."—Leeds Mercury.

David Hume. By Henry Calderwood, LL.D.

"Fulfils admirably well the purpose of the writer, which was that of presenting in clear, fair, and concise lines Hume and his philosophy to the mind of his countrymen and of the world."—Scotsman.

William Dunbar. By Oliphant Smeaton.

"A graphic and informed account not only of the man and his works, but of his immediate environment and of the times in which he lived."—Bailie.

Sir William Wallace. By Professor Murison.

"Mr. Murison is to be heartily congratulated on this little book. After much hard and discriminate labour, he has pieced together by far the best, one might say the only rational and coherent, account of Wallace that exists."—Speaker.

Robert Louis Stevenson. By Margaret M. Black.

"Certainly one of the most charming biographies we have ever come across. The writer has style, sympathy, distinction, and understanding. We were loth to put the book aside. Its one fault is that it is too short."—Outlook.

Thomas Reid. By Professor Campbell Fraser.

"Supplies what must be allowed to be a distinct want in our literature, in the shape of a brief, popular, and accessible biography of the founder of the so-called Scottish School of Philosophy, written with notable perspicuity and sympathy by one who has made a special study of the problems that engaged the mind of Reid."—Scotsman.

Pollok and Aytoun. By Rosaline Masson.

"Miss Masson tells the story of the lives of her two subjects in a bright and readable way. Her criticisms are sound and judicious, and altogether the little volume is a very acceptable addition to the series."—North British Daily Mail.

Adam Smith. By Hector C. Macpherson.

"I have learned much from your sketch of Adam Smith's life and work. It presents the essential facts in a lucid and interesting way."—Mr. Herbert Spencer to the Author.

Andrew Melville. By William Morison.

"The story is well told, and it takes one through a somewhat obscure period with which it is well to be acquainted. No better guide could be found than Mr. Morison."—Spectator.

James Frederick Ferrier. By E. S. Haldane.

"Ferrier the man, and even Ferrier the professor, Miss Haldane brings near to us, an attractive and interesting figure."—Scotsman.

"This biography of him will be highly esteemed because of the grace and vigour with which Miss Haldane has done her work. To the 'Famous Scots' series of volumes there have been many excellent contributions, but not one of them is more interesting than this latest addition."—Dundee Courier.

King Robert the Bruce. By Professor Murison.

"Professor Murison has given us a book for which not only Scots, but every man who can appreciate a record of great days worthily told, will be grateful."—Morning Leader.

"The story of Bruce is brilliantly told in clear and flexible language, which draws the reader on with the interest of a novel. Professor Murison is a most impartial and thoroughly reliable critic, and may be followed with confidence by all who desire a truthful and unprejudiced picture of this greatest of the Scots."—Aberdeen Journal.

James Hogg. By Sir George Douglas. With Sketches of Tannahill, Motherwell, and Thom.
