The Breezy Pentlands. By George M. Keith, M.A. (T. N.

Fonlis. Ss. 6d. net.)—Mr. Keith is very angry with the Edin- burgh citizens for their indifference to the beauties of the Pentland Hills. One W.S. thought, we are told, that they were the same as the Braids. And so once again facit indignatio versum. Here we have a book which will do excellently well as a guide. The author writes as one who knows and loves his subject, and therefore writes well. Also he can make a very pretty ballad, if " Leezie," which he gives on p. 54, a propos of the river Dean, is his.
