OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"The work has an intense interest of a certain kind, and there is a
suggestive picturesqueness about the appellations of the chiefs. The
various branches of the clan are traced genealogically to the presen/
clay, a stiff piece of labour for which Mr. Mackenzie certainly deserve ,
the thanks of his kinsmen." — Athenaum.
"It was certainly no ordinary task that the enthusiastic editor of the
Celtic Magazine imposed upon himself in writing up the history of his
clan ; but the manner in which he has accomplished the work reflects

taking labour."- — Literary World.
