" Wilton, Q.C." ; or, Life in a Highland Shooting.Box.

By Mrs. Alec Tweedie. (Hutchinson.) —Mrs. Tweedie gives her readers a mixture of love and sport. There is nothing beyond the common- place in her descriptions of either; on the other hand, there is nothing that offends, and the effect of the whole is moderately pleasing. As for the sporting element in her tale, she is even better than her word, for she goes out of her way to provide us with a description of golf, and this is more than we could expect in the Highlands. The usual varieties of shooting and fishing are fairly represented. If Mrs. Tweedie is not absolutely an expert in the matters about which she writes, she knows enough to avoid mistakes.
