_GRAPHIC_--”An eloquent monograph on Jerusalem, written with all the picturesqueness and force of style which distinguishes the writer.”
_SPECTATOR_--”Mrs. Oliphant has successfully accomplished the difficult achievement of recasting the familiar old Hebrew stories into the language of our own land and century without losing their charm.”
_SCOTSMAN_--”One of the most attractive books of the year.”
_RECORD_--”It is ent.i.tled to yet higher praise than that which is due to it for its charm as an expression of the highest literary skill.”
_OBSERVER_--”Mrs. Oliphant has written no better literature than this.
It is a history; but it is one of more than human interest.”

_PALL MALL GAZETTE_--”Is fascinating and full of interest throughout.
Mr. Reid has long occupied a place in the very front rank of Scottish artists, and we have seen nothing finer from his pencil than the ill.u.s.trations in the present volume.”
_SPECTATOR_--”Between letterpress and ill.u.s.trations, _Royal Edinburgh_ reproduces the tragedy, the glory, and the picturesqueness of Scotch history as no other work has done.”
