each.
“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._
