Messrs. Maclaren deserve the thanks of all lovers of the writings of the saintly Robert Murray McCheyne in reprinting the translation of Rev. Allan Sinclair of McCheyne’s Sermons, Letters and Hymns. We hope the publishers will be encouraged in their enterprise. Unfortunately in these days the audience to which such books make an appeal even in Gaelic is not so large as it once was. The book is nicely got up and neatly printed. Here and there gaps caused by dropped letters appear. There does not seem to have been any definite system of accentuation before the proof reader’s mind judging by the haphazard use made of the accents. These, however, are minor faults and we sincerely hope that our Gaelic-speaking readers will encourage the publisher by buying the book.
