"For scholars and students generally the interest of the second volume will be chiefly in the efforts of the author to determine the measure in which Phoenician or Semitic thought and mythology influenced those of Greece; and it must be admitted at once that some of his points must be regarded as definitely proved."-Sat.

"Mr. Brown's spelling is like that of Leconte de Lisle, concerning which Théophile Gautier politely remarked that it would be simpler to write in Greek at once. As to Mr. Brown's examination of the character and legend of Circe, we are constrained to say that, with all his industry, he is following a false trail and mythologizing on a mistaken method. Mr. Brown reasons on what he calls 'the natural phenomena theory.' In his opinion (if we do not misunderstand him) the incidents in the Odyssey are mostly veiled statements about processes among the larger atmospheric phenomena, day, night, moonshine, and so forth, and it is his object to interpret the original meaning of the narrative. . . . The apparent inconsistencies' in the character of Circe are explained fully by the natural phe-galities: Remnants, and Two Hundred Ways of using nomena theory and by that alone.'

vols 4to. "There could hardly be a better subject for a county historian than the Forest of Ettrick, and the topic has fallen into excellent hands."--Sat. Rev., lxii. 690.

"It is a good deal to say of a county history that it can be read through with pleasure; yet this can certainly be said of Mr. Craig-Brown's pages, which are never deficient in interest. . . . In fact, his literary skill is somewhat an impediment to his reader's appreciation of his erudition. This does not imply that the erudition is not there, but it is not the erudition of an antiquary or an archæologist. In fact, Mr. Craig Brown is neither of these, but is rather a social historian. It is the life, the manners and customs-above all, the literature and the character-of the dwellers in Ettrick Forest which attract him."-M. CREIGHTON: Historical Rev., No. 12.

"He has written with all his soul and with all his strength.. A consequence of this sincerity is that his verse should gain him friends and admirers wherever it is read, and that he should be as well known among strangers as among his own people. . . . . It must be noted, however, that the author's romance is never so striking in conception or so successful in execution as his fun, his wit, his tenderness, his pictures of life and character, or his dramatic analysis of emotion."-Ath., No. 2793. "We cannot say whether the author of this volume has much gift for poetry of the conventional form. But what he has done he has done well,-almost to perfection. He has given us a fragment of living experience, quivering, if we may say so, with reality; he has touched the springs of unexpected laughter, sometimes of unfamiliar tears."-Spectator, liv. 834.

"In these volumes Mr. Browne lays before the reader a series of causes célèbres, selected from the state trials between the years 1800 and 1830, which illustrates a great impeachment of Lord Melville down to the social scandals variety of miscellaneous topics, ranging from the grave of the Berkeley Peerage case. These various cases Mr.

Browne has connected by summaries of the intervening historical events."-Ath., No. 2844.

"Interesting as Mr. Lathom Browne's stories are, for the most part, they are not at all well told. The author seems entirely destitute of narrative power; he neither groups his facts strikingly, nor exposes them dramatically, nor makes them lead up to the termination. . . . The cases ... are, however, of sufficient interest to make his book deserve reading."- Sat. Rev., liii. 368.
