"In no one of his books does Mr. Crockett give us a brighter or more graphic picture of contemporary Scotch life than in 'Cleg Kelly.' ... It is one of the great books."--_Boston Daily Advertiser._
"One of the most successful of Mr. Crockett's works."--_Brooklyn Eagle._
"Here are idyls, epics, dramas of human life, written in words that thrill and burn.... Each is a poem that has an immortal flavor. They are fragments of the author's early dreams, too bright, too gorgeous, too full of the blood of rubies and the life of diamonds to be caught and held palpitating in expression's grasp."--_Boston Courier._
"Hardly a sketch among them all that will not afford pleasure to the reader for its genial humor, artistic local coloring, and admirable portrayal of character."--_Boston Home Journal._
"One dips into the book anywhere and reads on and on, fascinated by the writer's charm of manner."--_Minneapolis Tribune._
"A love story pure and simple, one of the old-fashioned, wholesome, sun-shiny kind, with a pure-minded, sound-hearted hero, and a heroine who is merely a good and beautiful woman; and if any other love story half so sweet has been written this year, it has escaped our notice."--_New York Times._
"The general conception of the story, the motive of which is the growth of love between the young chief and heroine, is delineated with a sweetness and a freshness, a naturalness and a certainty, which places 'The Lilac Sunbonnet' among the best stories of the time."--_New York Mail and Express._
"In its own line this little love story can hardly be excelled. It is a pastoral, an idyl--the story of love and courtship and marriage of a fine young man and a lovely girl--no more. But it is told in so thoroughly delightful a manner, with such playful humor, such delicate fancy, such true and sympathetic feeling, that nothing more could be desired."--_Boston Traveller._

"Most admirably done.... We read fascinated, and fully believing every word we read.... The book has deeply interested us, and even thrilled us more than once."--_London Daily Chronicle._
