“The present Publishers have just reproduced, in a neat and portable form, ‘The Bruce,’ a work which has justly been regarded as the Æneid of Scotland. It is the earliest heroic poem produced in any dialect of the Anglo-Saxon tongue, and may be characterised as ‘the well of Scottish undefiled.’”--_North British Daily Mail._

“The Volume is admirably printed, and the taste displayed in its production reflects much credit upon the Publishers.”--_Ayrshire Express._

“His ‘Parænesis’ and ‘Aurora’ are almost classical performances, and well merit re-publication.”--_Dr. Anderson._

“John Dunbar, Arthur Johnston, and Andrew Ramsay, have lauded the Earl of Stirling in their Latin Poetry. Daniel has complimented him before the Edition of his ‘Philotas,’ in 1605. Davies of Hereford has done the same in his ‘Scourge of Folly’ and ‘Wits Bedlam.’ Hayman addressed his plaudits to him in his ‘Quodlibets.’ Habington commended his ‘Tragick Raptures’ and ‘Doomsday’ in ‘Castara,’ &c.”--Park’s Edition of Walpole’s _Royal and Noble Authors_.
