OPINIONS OF THE PRESS :—
" This second edition of the History of his clan will be Mr Mackenzie's chef
d'auvre, his masterpiece as a clan Historian. He has very evidently ltft noth-
ing undone, no stone unturned in order to make the work as exhaustive and
completeas possible."— Rev. Alexander Stewart, LL.D., " Nether-Lochaber."
" The volume is one which shows on the part of the author immense in-
dustry and great research. The manner in which this handsome book has
been produced by the publishers leaves nothing to be desired." — Scotsman.
" This is not so much a new edition as a new book, containing, as it does,
200 pages mere than the first issue. Mr Mackenzie has, in fact, almost entirely
re-wiitten the history of his clan, which he now presents to the public with a
not unjustified confidence in its completeness as a family history. The book cer-
tainly bears traces of laborious industry and wide research. . . Few Highland
families, indeed, have had their ramifications followed out with the patience and
exhaustiveness that are here disp ayed by Mr Mackenzie." — Glasgow Herald.
" The work exhibits great industry, ar.d is undoubtedly a valuable contribu-
tion to the history of the Highlands. The clan is fortunate in having such a
diligent, able, and conscientious historian. Ihe volume contains a portrait
of Mr Mackenzie and a beautifully executed example Of the clan tartan. It
can be highly recommended as an excellent clan history " — Inverness Courier.
" So muchalterfd, improved, and extended that it is almost like an original
work. . . The genealogies and histories not only of the Seaforth, Gairloch,
Cromartie, and other leading families, but also many of the subordinate houses
of the surname are given in this book with great fulness and great accuracy.
Mackenzies with clannish feelings will find it a genuine mine of information,
and it has considerable interest too, from other points of view, for students of
general history." — Northern Chronicle.
" This massive and handsome volume is worthy in every respect of the power-
ful Highland clan whose changeful fortunes it traces with such care and
fidelity. Many admirable features are introduced and the story of the clan is
told with historical accuracy and literary skill. The printing is a credit to our
northern press, and the binding is quite in keeping, being elegant as well as
strong. The record of a powerful race, this admirable history reflects the
dignity and importance of its theme ; full of stirring incidents often brightened
by deeds of heroic valour."— The North Star.
