"His life was so pregnant in meaning, so rich in noble deeds, so full of that spiritual vitality which serves to quicken life in others; it bore witness to so many principles which we can only fully understand when we see them in action: it presented so many real pictures of dauntless courage and of Christian heroism, that we welcome gratefully the attempt to reproduce it which has resulted in the volume before us.

"We welcome this volume as a graceful tribute to the memory of as gifted, tender, generous a soul as Science as ever reared, and prematurely lost."-Literary Gazette.

"It is long sce a better memoir than this, as regards either subject or handling, has come under our notice The first nine chapters retain all the charming grace of style which marked everything of Wilson's, and the author of the latter two-thirds of the memoir deserves very high praise for the skill he has used, and the kindly spirit he has shown. From the first page to the fast, the book claims careful reading as being a full but not overcrowded rehearsal of a most instructive life and the true picture of a mind that was rare in strength and beauty."-Examiner.
