There are not so many Galts that we can afford to say ‘* good night” so soon. We will let ten Peers, ten M.P.’s, ten aldermen, ten parsons, ten doctors, and a thousand lawyers go, without murmuring too much, but only spare us the Author of the ‘ Annals of the Parish,’ and the © Provost.’ —Literary Gazette. ‘* We are sure the work will be successful, and can only hope that we shall see another edition, with additions, by the author.”—Sunday Herald. «© The work is one which all lovers of literature must seize with avidity, and one which it is impossible to throw aside in a hurry.”— Sunday Times. ‘* Nor are the volumes merely entertaining, they comprise many an instructive lesson to those who can extract it for themselves.—Eclectie Review. *,% A few Proof Impressions of the Portrait, on India Paper, price ds, .
