From the fact that a major scholar tore it to shreds in a peer reviewed academic journal.
You cited one pro-Southern reviewer as evidence.
You keep alleging and impugning Gutzman as pro-southern yet have offered no evidence to that, nor any evidence that anything Gutzman ever said about Farber was wrong. Why is that?
So, I did not know that Farber's work is considered in low esteem by scholars nor do I know that now.
And you'll never know as long as you invent phony reasons to dismiss and neglect every critical review out of convenience for Farber.
Here is a favoritable review of the work,
The Claremont Institute is not a scholarly peer reviewed journal. It is a Lincolnite hack machine that agrees with Farber because they share in his extreme partisan disposition toward Lincoln.
The poster probably refers to the the Claremont Review of Books, which is exactly as advertised - a book review. Otherwise, his thinking seems to be muddled.
A scholar tore it to bits (and frankly, I do not read the review that way).
So one scholar did not like it.
I gave you a link to two other scolars who did, both professors.
Moreover, how well received were Mise's works received by the scholars?

His constant harping on Farber's errors on nullification, referring to a five year old journal article he wrote for Southern History Journal as proof, that Farber was not up to date on the 'original sources'
Farber was not writing a scholarly work per se, but a popular one, for the average person.
So, I did not know that Farber's work is considered in low esteem by scholars nor do I know that now. And you'll never know as long as you invent phony reasons to dismiss and neglect every critical review out of convenience for Farber.
Well, since I have found scholars who approved of his work, your view of it being rejected by the 'scholarly community' proves to be an incorrect one (what a shock!)

And what about the other two works that I gave you as proof?
I know you could not have missed them, they are only two posts away from the Claremont review.
