Mr. Sutton Palmer is the artist, and his style is not unlike Mrs. Allingham’s in its careful drawing and regard for detail, while he, too, has an eye for colour as is exemplified in his sketches of brown hills and purple heather, and in the glimpses of the indigo colouring of the deep lochs. Both artists are alike also in having elicited Mr. Ruskin’s praise of their work. It was the heartfelt wish of Robert Burns to “make a beuk for poor auld Scotland’s sake”; he succeeded better than he knew. And Sir Walter Scott, a quarter of a century later, by publishing “The Lady of the Lake” and the “Waverley Novels,” became the Columbus of the Highlands, making the people and their country known to Englishmen. In =BONNIE SCOTLAND= the scenery familiar to many from Scott’s verbal descriptions will become real to the eye, and even those who know not Scotland cannot fail to feel the charm of this wonderful land of which Mr. Menpes has said: “Take the finest bit of Switzerland and the finest bit of Norway, dip them in water and you have Scotland.” And again, “It is the chief charm of Scotland that one sees everywhere such rich, deep, stirring colour.” Mr. A. R. Hope Moncrieff, himself a Scot, who contributes the letterpress, has not written merely descriptive matter. He has given an outline of Scotland’s salient features, and glimpses of her history, national church, and literature, lightened by the entertaining reminiscences and anecdotes of one who has travelled widely and is able to judge his countrymen at their proper worth. In fact, this is a book that will have to take its place in the library of every lover of Scotland.
