* * " Big England's mourning is local ; little

Scotland's is national," is the reason Mr. Ian Hay gives for the fact that the countryside of England has been dotted with innumerable local war memorials, whereas the whole of Scotland com- memorates her hundred thousand dead in one beautiful national war memorial on the summit of the Castle Rock, Edinburgh. Under the title of Their Name Liveth (The Bodley Head, 5s.), Mr. Ian Hay has written a moving account of this national memorial, a description of its exterior and interior, and a short history of each of the twelve Scottish regiments. We hope to publish a more detailed review of this book in our Scottish Number on May 30th.
