Am Bolg Solair: the Pedlar's Pack. (A. Sinclair, The Celtic

Press, Glasgow.)—This is a collection of poems, prose, and pictures intended for those who cultivate the Celtic spirit in the High- lands. Mr. Neil Munro writes of those strange islands of the Outer Hebrides, the Uists and Benbecula. No trees grow on these reefs rising from the Atlantic ; but of late, we are glad to hear, man has been flourishing there. Largo farms have been broken up, to the expected advantage of the landowners, and new villages have sprung into being. Best among the illustrations are Mr. D. Y. Cameron's " Eildon Hills," and Mr. Paterson's "Edinburgh," both of which are full of charm.
