The “earth-houses” in Scotland and the isles, which seem to have been inhabited at an early period, can seldom be called hills or mounds; being built for purposes of concealment, they are usually almost on a level with the surrounding land.

(Privately printed. Edinburgh, 1892.)

“Ces deux volumes de la ‘Bibliothèque de Carabas’ (Bidpai et Æsop) constituent l’examen le plus complet et le plus savant qui ait été fait depuis Benfey de cette grande question de l’origine et de la migration des fables, et la critique de l’auteur s’y montre partout aussi sage que bien informée.”—M. A. BARTH, in Mélusine.

“The degree and quality of the editor’s learning are not to be doubted; it is varied, profound, and without a spice of pedantry.”—Scots Observer.
