ArA'EKTISEMENTS.
A capital book for holiday reading. It is light eriough ro be
amusing, is minute enough to be accepted as a broadly-
drawn sketch of what actually happens at holiday times in
out of the way cor.:ers of the West Highlands, and has
enough of connected romance in it to maintain the interest
of the reader."

Glass^^oic Herald.
It is a quiet, slowly going, yet always comically satirical account
of the everyday life of a remote place in the Western
Highlands. The abundance of fun in the book, and its
sprinkling of sentiment, are quite enough to palliate any
departure from nature in depicting Highland character."
— Scotsman.
The author is a Scotchman, and not only can appreciate
humour in others, but is somewhat of a humourist himself."
— Manchestcj- Examiner.
Should be found in every Scottish household.""

" To the gay, its perusal will enhance the pleasures of a holiday,
or compensate for the want of one; and to the grave, will
open up views of life, and lines of thought, which they may
ponder with advantage." The Cateraii.
