עמוד 136 - ... an attempt, from first to last, to put a Person, a human being (myself, in the latter half of the nineteenth century, in America,) freely, fully and truly on record.
עמוד 321 - Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abysses nature leads, or you shall learn nothing.
עמוד 367 - WRITTEN BY HERSELF. Third and Cheaper Edition, 1 vol., 6s. bound. " Nothing half so true or so touching in the delineation of Scottish character has appeared since Gait published his ' Annals of the Parish,' and this is purer and deeper than Gait, and even more absolutely and simply true.
