M. Francisque-Michel is already well-known by his book on the historical connexion between France and Scotland. The present volume will add to his reputation. The intention of the work is not very clearly stated in the title. It is an enquiry into all the words that Scotch has derived from French, and thereby he endeavors to show to what extent Scotland is indebted to France in the matter of civilization. He has added two appendices in which he gives a list of words 'which, in all probability, came to Scotland directly from the "Norse languages, and a list of 'words derived from the "Celtic. These lists are far from complete, but M. Michel deserves credit for having made the attempt. Even in the French part, the reader feels that M. Michel is animated by a strong French bias, and that a wider range of reading and a wider knowledge of philology are requisite to reach such etymologies as would command the confidence of scholars. At the same time his diligence is worthy of all praise. -- Edinburgh Review, Or, Critical Journal , Volume 158 [1883]
