LORD DUNFERMLINE.

Memoir of Lieutenant-General Sir Ralph Abercromby, K. B., 1793-1801. By
his Son JAMES LORD DUNFERMLINE. In 1 vol. demy 8vo.

“It is peculiarly refreshing to meet with a biography of an
individual so illustrious as Sir Ralph Abercromby, from the pen
of one so eminent in many respects as the late Lord
Dunfermline.”—_Caledonian Mercury, October 3._

“His grandson, the present Lord Dunfermline, by causing this memoir
to be printed and published, has conferred a benefit upon all—and
they are fortunately many—who treasure the memory of distinguished
men.”—_Literary Gazette, October 5._

Angelo Sanmartino, a Tale of Lombardy in 1859. Crown 8vo, cloth, 10s.
6d.

“A pretty story enough, and vraisemblable enough for the effect
desired to be produced by the author, which is to awaken in the
minds of ordinary English novel readers a lively feeling for the
cause of Italian independence.”—_Spectator, December 29._

“We admire the character of Angelo, and heartily commend it to
public favour; it is admirably written; the subject is one dear to
every lover of freedom and honour.—_Commonwealth, December 15,
1860._

Odal Rights and Feudal Wrongs: a Memorial for Orkney. By DAVID BALFOUR
of Balfour and Trenaby. 1 vol. 8vo, price 6s.

“We gather from the book that Mr. Balfour is an Orcadian Laird,
Odaller, or whatever the proper title may be now-a-days. Certainly
he is a sound and careful antiquary, well versed in the local
history of the old Jarldom, and fully entitled to a hearing for
anything which he may say about it.”—_Saturday Review, March 1861._

“To antiquarians, and especially those connected with Orkney, this
book will be a rich acquisition.—_Orkney Herald, October 23, 1860._

history.”—_Athenæum, January 27._
