“Not since William Black’s pen was laid aside has so much of the colour, fragrance, and feeling of Western Scotland been rendered in print.... The story would appear to be the outcome of a moving realisation of all that makes the Highlands what they are to the poetic sense, of which the author of _A Princess of Thule_ was perhaps the best modern interpreter.”--_Glasgow Herald._ “Seldom since William Black gave us of his best has the land of moss and fell and deer forest been better painted in words.”--_St. James’s Budget._ “Well-written story of Scotch county society.”--_Times._ [JOHN MURRAY. The Transgressors. “Those who know their Edinburgh well will doubtless recognise many among the portraits of its great and popular men here given; and those who do not will be glad of this opportunity of obtaining a glimpse into the life of a city whose culture runs on such different lines to those familiar to Englishmen.”--_Guardian._ “The book is all about Edinburgh life and Edinburgh people as they are to be seen to-day by anybody who has eyes to see them ... introduces its readers to several typical Edinburgh households ... full of little bits of the streets of Edinburgh.”--_Scotsman._ “The charm of the book is in its intimate sketches of Edinburgh society. Miss Masson seems to know it in every phase, and hits off its characteristics with a sure and kindly hand.”--_Sketch._ [HODDER & STOUGHTON. Lives of Pollock and Aytoun. (_Famous Scots Series._) “Has managed to invest the story of Pollock, whose Course of Time is practically unknown to the present generation, with a good deal of interest.”--_Literature._ [OLIPHANT, ANDERSON & FERRIER. A Departure from Tradition, & other Stories. “Brisk little stories these, with a pleasant dash of sentiment and plenty of fun.”--_Tablet._ [SANDS & CO. My Poor Niece, and other Stories. “Eminently artistic.”--_Daily Chronicle._ [OLIPHANT, ANDERSON & FERRIER. Use and Abuse of English. “A guide which is the pithiest, clearest, and handiest that we have yet seen. One could find no livelier companion for a railway journey than this booklet; it will easily go into the pocket, and will amply repay close study.”--_Aberdeen Free Press._ [JAMES THIN, Edinburgh. * * * * * BONNIE SCOTLAND PAINTED BY SUTTON PALMER DESCRIBED BY A.
