"It is by no means a constant fact, that every heraldic
painter shall execute his labour of love and reverence with
so much sincerity, delicacy, and patience, as Lord Lindsay
has. He has given us a book which Scott would have delighted
to honour."
"The critic's task would be a holiday labour--instead of
being too often, as it is, a manufacture of bricks when the
supply of straw again and again fails--if it led him more
frequently to examine and exhibit such worthy books as Lord
Lindsay's."--_Athenæum._
