“Of all the John Browns commend us to Dr. John Brown—the physician,
the man of genius, the humourist, the student of men, women, and
dogs. By means of two beautiful volumes he has given the public a
share of his bye-hours, and more pleasant hours than these it would
be difficult to find in any life.
“Dr. Brown’s masterpiece is the story of a dog called ‘Rab.’ The
tale moves from the most tragic pathos to the most reckless humour,
and could not have been written but by a man of genius. Whether it
moves tears or laughter, it is perfect in its way, and immortalizes
its author.”—_Times, October 21, 1861._
“With his pen Dr. Brown has depicted dogs as powerfully and humanly
as Landseer has done with his pencil.”—_Oriental Budget, April 1,
1861._
“The work now before us will be so generally read in Scotland that
it is superfluous to describe its contents to the public.”—_Courant,
June 6, 1861._
Supplementary Chapter to the Life of the Rev. John Brown, D.D. A Letter
to the Rev. John Cairns, D.D. Second Edition, crown 8vo, sewed, 2s.
“It forms an indispensable appendix to the admirable memoir of Dr.
Cairns, and it will, if possible, increase the love with which Dr.
Brown’s memory is cherished.”—_Scottish Guardian, January 5._
“There is a fresh luxuriance in the style, that charms and
fascinates the reader.”—_Glasgow Saturday Post, January 5._
