A Popular History of the Highlands and Gaelic Scotland from the Earliest Times till the Close of the Forty-Five. By DUGALD MITCHELL, M.D., J.P. Demy 8vo. Cloth extra, gilt top. 708 pages. With 3 Maps and Frontispiece. 12s. 6d. nett. EARLY PRESS NOTICES. "We wish to say how well yare satisfied with this History of the Highlands. Dr. Mitchell possesses all the alities demanded in a work of this nature. He writes well. His style is never affected, and never obscure; even in the intricacies of a genealogical argument there is no need to read a sentence of his a second time. But beyond and above all this, he has the right temperament; he is a Celt of the Celts in enthusiasm and sympathy, and therein is the secret of the strong human interest that throbs through his pages. The historical narrative is brought down to the settlement of the Highlands after the 'Forty-Five, and we do not think the part played by the Highlanders in the affairs of Scotland has ever been so fully and clearly set forth in any one work. Much of the matter, too, has for the first time been embodied in regular history. The book is a perfect mine of information on a that relates to the Highlands and Gaelic Scotland."Dundee Courier. "All previous histories of the Highlands having been large and costly, the author of the present work has set himself the task of producing one of moderate size, to be procurable by Highlanders and others interested at a moderate price. With this laudable object in view he has endeavoured to make his work" popular in character, and at the same time authoritative, educative, and comprehensive." The result is a volume of 700 pages, exhibiting abundant proofs of painstaking industry in compilation, along with some originality of treatment, and no little discretion in the use of the materials available. Dr. Mitchell has, on the whole, given a very full, fair, and impartial history of Gaelic Scotland."--Scotsman. "Dr. Mitchell has succeeded admirably in his praiseworthy attempt to provide a popular history o the Scottish Highlands from the earliest times down to that social and political revolution which followed the suppression of the last Jacobite rising. He has made use of the best authorities, and he employs his materials alike with critical care and caution and with a sobriety of judgment which contrasts very favourably with the fanatical and aggressive Celticism too often characteristic of the work of Highlanders who essay to write the history of their race. It will be seen from these details that Dr. Mitchell does not confine himself to the political history of the Highlands, but takes account of the more familiar aspects of their social development as well. He also gives in his concluding chapter a brief but very lucid and interesting summary of the history of Gaelic poetry during the eighteenth century, which produced in Rob Donn and Duncan Ban Macintyre two of the greatest masters of Gaelic song. Altogether the book contains a very complete and judicious treatment of its wide and difficult subject, and should easily approve itself to the public as at once a popular and an authoritative history of the Highlands."-Glasgow Herald. |
