BY THE SAME AUTHOR.

Second Thousand. In Fcap. 8vo, 174 pp. Cloth, 2s. 6d.

_A Shetland Minister of the 18th Century._

Being Passages in the Life of the Rev. John Mill.

NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

"We have read this little book with real pleasure, and we wish it well."--_Saturday Review._

"John Mill was a character such as Robert Louis Stevenson would have rendered immortal, and that Mr. Willcock's well-written sketch portrays with skill."--_Pall Mall Gazette._

"A very remarkable life-history."--_New Age._

"A curious phase of Scottish life and character."--_Standard._

"A most readable little book."--_Athenæum._

"It is delightful to receive such a pretty book.... It depicts a striking and interesting character and phase of life."--_British Weekly._

"A readable and interesting life-story."--_Literary World._

"The whole volume is very amusing reading."--_St. Martin's-le-Grand._

"This is in every way a charming book. Its get-up is tastefully quaint, and the subject matter fresh and interesting."--_Scottish Notes and Queries._

"A delightful little volume.... A book of no ordinary interest."--_Presbyterian._

"The picture of a man of remarkable vigour and individuality of character."--_Scotsman._

"A really readable little book, which should find a considerably wider public than that of the Shetland Islands."--_Glasgow Herald._

"Mill was a man of mark in his day, and his life-story is simply and worthily told in this little volume."--_Aberdeen Free Press._

"Glimpses of old-world life in these remote islands."--_Scottish Pictorial._

"A perspicuous and complete sketch."--_Dundee Advertiser._

"A little volume which is full of charm and interest."--_John O'Groat Journal._

"The work is one of high literary ability, is of more than ordinary value for the light it throws on the religious and moral condition of the times it covers, and is specially interesting from the uniqueness of the character of Mr. Mill."--_North British Daily Mail._

"A curious and interesting picture of old Shetland life."--_Elgin Courant._

"Mr. Mill's idiosyncrasies furnish an unfailing source of amusement."--_United Presbyterian Magazine._

"The whole work is excellent, and, we cannot doubt, will be welcomed in a wider area than the northern islands in which Mr. Mill spent his life."--_Banffshire Journal._

"A very interesting biography, which has already and deservedly attracted a good deal of attention."--_Northern Ensign._

"We commend the perusal of the volume to all those in any way interested in Scotland and her past."--_Liverpool Daily Post._

"We can recommend the book as interesting to many more than Shetland readers."--_Life and Work._

"One can see what a romance Stevenson could have constructed out of Mill's diary, which seems incredibly old-fashioned and primitive."--_Sketch._

"A most interesting and readable volume, containing many quaint and curious pictures of Shetland life and manners during last century."--_Orkney Herald._

"Mr. Willcock has done well to provide this record of a man so memorable."--_United Presbyterian Record._

"There is a great deal that is interesting in this book.... Mr. Willcock has done his work well, and we feel indebted to him for making us acquainted with a character which ought not to be forgotten."--_Free Church Monthly._

"Mr. Mill stands out as quite a remarkable man. Though the volume will have a special interest to the people of the Shetland Isles, it will be read with much interest on the mainland."--_Perthshire Advertiser._

"A succinct and readable account of Mill's life.... Nothing essential has been omitted, and nothing unnecessary has been retained.... The volume furnishes interesting reading from beginning to end."--_Shetland News._

"The book is eminently readable, and will well repay perusal.... A vein of quiet humour, mingled with delicate satire, crops up every here and there in its pages."--_Shetland Times._

_Post 8vo, canvas binding. 1s. 6d.; extra gilt binding,
gilt top, uncut, 2s. 6d._

=Thomas Carlyle.= By HECTOR C. MACPHERSON.

"One of the best books on Carlyle yet written."--_Literary World._

=Allan Ramsay.= By OLIPHANT SMEATON.

"Full of sound knowledge and judicious criticism."--_Scotsman._

=Hugh Miller.= By W. KEITH LEASK.

"Leaves on us a very vivid impression."--_Daily News._

=John Knox.= By A. TAYLOR INNES.

"There is vision in this book as well as knowledge."--_Speaker._

=Robert Burns.= By GABRIEL SETOUN.

"A very valuable and opportune addition to a useful series."--_Bookman._

=The Balladists.= By JOHN GEDDIE.

"One of the most delightful and eloquent appreciations of the ballad literature of Scotland that has ever seen the light."--_New Age._

=Richard Cameron.= By Professor HERKLESS.

"Interesting study of Cameron and his times."--_National Observer._

=Sir James Y. Simpson.= By EVE BLANTYRE SIMPSON.

"It is indeed long since we have read such a charmingly-written biography as this little Life of the most typical and 'Famous Scot' that his countrymen have been proud of since the time of Sir Walter.... There is not a dull, irrelevant, or superfluous page in all Miss Simpson's booklet, and she has performed the biographer's chief duty--that of selection--with consummate skill and judgment."--_Daily Chronicle._

=Thomas Chalmers.= By Professor W. GARDEN BLAIKIE.

"The most notable feature of Professor Blaikie's book--and none could be more commendable--is its perfect balance and proportion. In other words, justice is done equally to the private and to the public life of Chalmers, if possible greater justice than has been done by Mrs. Oliphant."--_Spectator._

=James Boswell.= By W. KEITH LEASK.

"One of the finest and most convincing passages that have recently appeared in the field of British Biography."--_Morning Leader._

=Tobias Smollett.= By OLIPHANT SMEATON.

"Mr. Smeaton has produced a very readable and vivid biography."--_Academy._

=Fletcher of Saltoun.= By G. W. T. OMOND.

"Unmistakably the most interesting and complete story of the life of Fletcher of Saltoun that has yet appeared."--_Leeds Mercury._

=The "Blackwood" Group.= By Sir GEORGE DOUGLAS.

"Sir George Douglas, in addition to summarising their biographies, criticises their works with excellent and well-weighed appreciation."--_Literary World._

=Norman Macleod.= By JOHN WELLWOOD.

"Its general picturesqueness is effective, while the criticism is eminently liberal and sound."--_Scots Pictorial._

=Sir Walter Scott.= By GEORGE SAINTSBURY.

"Mr. Saintsbury's miniature is a gem of its kind."--_Pall Mall Gazette._

=Kirkcaldy of Grange.= By LOUIS A. BARBÉ.

"A conscientious and thorough piece of work, showing wide and accurate knowledge."--_Glasgow Herald._

=Robert Fergusson.= By A. B. GROSART, D.D., LL.D.

"It is a creditable, useful, and painstaking book, a genuine contribution to Scottish literary history."--_British Weekly._

=James Thomson.= By WILLIAM BAYNE.

"The story of Thomson's claim to the disputed authorship of 'Rule Britannia' is sustained by his countryman with spirit and in our judgment with success."--_Literature._

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.

30 ST. MARY STREET, EDINBURGH;

Transcriber's Notes: Hyphenation has been standardized, for instance, "footnote" rather than "foot-note". Spelling has not been standardized, for instance "Lieutenant-General" and "Lieutenant-Generall", or "falsehood" and "falshood". The period following a royal's roman number belongs, for instance, "King Charles. is".
