THE FOOTSTEPS OF SCOTT

By W. S. CROCKETT. Now that Mr Andrew Lang has left us, Mr Crockett has
probably no equal in his knowledge of the Border country and its
literature, or in his affectionate acquaintance with the life of Sir
Walter. The illustrations are from water-colours specially painted by
Tom Scott, R.S.A. They show his art at its best. 230 pp. Buckram, 3/6

SOME SCOTTISH BOOKS

THE KIRK & ITS WORTHIES

By NICHOLAS DICKSON and D. MACLEOD MALLOCH. Our Scottish kirk has a
great reputation for dourness--but it has probably kindled more humour
than it ever quenched. The pulpits have inevitably been filled by a race
of men disproportionately rich in "characters," originals, worthies with
a gift for pungent expression and every opportunity for developing it.
There is a fund of good stories here which forms a worthy sequel to Dean
Ramsay's Reminiscences and a living history of an old-world life. The
illustrations consist of sixteen reproductions in colour of paintings by
eminent Scottish artists. The frontispiece is the famous painting "The
Ordination of Elders." 340 pp. Buckram, 5/- net; Leather, 7/6 net.

SCOTTISH LIFE & CHARACTER

By DEAN RAMSAY. The Reminiscences of Dean Ramsay are a kind of literary
haggis; and no dish better deserves to be worthily served up. "Next to
the Waverley Novels," says a chief authority, "it has done more than any
other book to make Scottish customs, phrases, and traits of character
familiar to Englishmen at home and abroad." Mr Henry W. Kerr's
illustrations provide a fitting crown to the feast. These pictures of
characteristic Scottish scenes and Scottish faces give colour to the
pen-and-ink descriptions, and bring out the full flavour of the text.

ANNALS OF THE PARISH

By JOHN GALT. The dry humour and whimsical sweetness of John Galt's
masterpiece need no description at this time of day--it is one of those
books, full of "the birr and sneddum that is the juice and flavour" of
life itself, which, like good wines, are the better for long keeping. It
was the first "kail-yard" to be planted in Scottish letters, and it is
still the most fertile. The volume contains sixteen of Mr Kerr's
water-colours, reproduced in colour. 316 pp. Buckram, 5/- net; Leather,
7/6 net.
