ADVERTISEMENTS.<br />

" A capital book for holiday reading. It is light enough to be<br />

amusing, is minute enough to be accepted as a broadly-<br />

drawn sketch <strong>of</strong> what actually happens at holiday times in<br />

out <strong>of</strong> the way corners <strong>of</strong> the West <strong>Highland</strong>s, and has<br />

enough <strong>of</strong> connected romance in it to maintain the interest<br />

<strong>of</strong> the reader."<br />

—<br />

Glasgoiv Herald.<br />

" It is a quiet, slowly going, yet always comically satirical account<br />

<strong>of</strong> the everyday life <strong>of</strong> a remote place in the Western<br />

<strong>Highland</strong>s. <strong>The</strong> abundance <strong>of</strong> fun in the book, and its<br />

sprinkling <strong>of</strong> sentiment, are quite enough to palliate any<br />

departure from nature in depicting <strong>Highland</strong> character.''<br />

— Scotsman.<br />

<strong>The</strong> author is a Scotchman, and not only can appreciate<br />

humour in others, but is somewhat <strong>of</strong> a humourist himself."<br />

—Manchester Examiner.<br />

Snould be found in everyScottish household."<br />

—<br />

Argus.<br />

To the gay, its perusal will enhance the pleasures <strong>of</strong> a holiday,<br />

or compensate for the want <strong>of</strong> one ; and to the grave, will<br />

open up views <strong>of</strong> life, and lines <strong>of</strong> thought, which they may<br />

ponder with advantage."<br />

—<br />

<strong>The</strong> Cateran.
