We do not offer the convicted common thief, the accomplice in MacLaren's assassination, or the manager of the outrage against Jean Key, as an object of sympathy; but it is melancholy to look on the dying struggles even of a wolf or a tiger, creatures of a species directly hostile to our own; and, in like manner, the utter distress of this man, whose faults may have sprung from a wild system of education, working on a haughty temper, will not be perused without some pity.
"A tale quite unusual, entirely unlike any other, full of a strange power and realism, and touched with a fine humor." London World. "One of the most remarkable and powerful of the year's contributions, worthy to stand with Ian Maclaren's." British Weekly. "One of the rare books which can be read with great pleasure and recommended without reservation.
This little book is full of kindly advice and practical suggestions to those who may wish to begin to practice health exercises at home with inexpensive apparatus. For more advanced work, Lagrange's "Physiology of Bodily Exercise" and the Introduction to Maclaren's "Physical Education" may be consulted.
Nevertheless, many deep-thinking men thought differently, and one contemporary, reviewing this subject in after years, said of Mr Maclaren's papers, that, "they prepared the way for the success of railway projectors." We have said that the steam locomotive the material transformer of the world our Iron Horse, had just been born.
There are rudimentary moral principles which they that know not God nevertheless acknowledge and obey. It was so in Christ's time; it is so still. The popular American ballad, "Jim Bludso," and Ian Maclaren's touching story of the Drumtochty postman, are familiar illustrations of self-sacrificing virtues revealed by men of coarse and vicious lives.
