The Rulers of Strathspey. By the Earl of Cassilis. (Northern

Counties Newspaper Co., Inverness. 6s.)—This volume is pub- lished to serve as a genealogical history of the Clan Grant. " Grant " is, it is contended, the same as the French grand, so that the " clan "—not quite an appropriate word in the circumstances— is traced back to a Norman, not a Celtic origin.
