"--_Saturday Review_.
"It must be admitted that Mr. Stephen has succeeded
admirably in his task. No writer could be more competent to
supply what is wanted in Boswell, a comprehensive sketch of
his hero's position in the literature of the eighteenth
century, and he has also shown great judgment and dexterity
in his illustration of Johnson's personal oddities and his
power as a talker.... All the traits of the personality
which Boswell has immortalized are to be found here, as well
as luminous sketches of the literature of the period, and a
solid judgment of the work that Johnson did in the
world."--_Examiner_.
"We could not wish for a more suggestive introduction to
Scott and his poems and novels."--_Examiner_.
"The tone of the volume is excellent
throughout."--_Athenaeum_ Review of "Scott."
"As a clear, thoughtful, and attractive record of the life
and works of the greatest among the world's historians, it
deserves the highest praise."--_Examiner_ Review of
"Gibbon."
