“ This book contains by far the most vivid picture of Scottish life and manners that has beengiven to the public since the days of Sir Walter Scott . In bestowing upon it this high praise,we make no exception, not even in favour of Lord Cockburn ’s Memorials —the book which re-sembles it most, and which ranks next to it in interest .”—Edinburgh Review.
“ A more delightful and graphic picture of the everyday life of our ancestors it has never been
our good fortune to meet with.We do not often pray for autobiographies—for, as a
class of literature, they are of very unequal merit—but we shall heartily rejoice to see asmany more autobiographies as possible if they are half as well worth reading as Jupiter Carlyle ’s .”—National Review.
“ A more racy volume of memoirs was never given to the world—nor one more difficult to setforth—save by the true assertion, that there is scarcely a page which does not contain matterfor extract or which would not bear annotation.”— Athenceum.
