" Ave atquc :ale ! " is our sadly appropriate
exclamation on receiving the hundredth quarterly number of the Scottish Historical Review and finding that it is to be the last (Glasgow : Jackson, Wylie, 4s.). For the review, edited throughout by Mr. James Maclehose with a fine appreciation for scholarship and written by many of our leading historians, has done splendid work for Scottish history in particular and for the cause of history in general. It is distressing to learn that " there are apparently not a sufficient number of people interested in the aims of this review to give it permanence." Nevertheless the hundred issues will continue to be invaluable to students. The present number, a fair sample of the quality of the review, contains valuable papers on an entrenched camp of a Roman type near Whithorn, on Edward L's Scottish Parliaments, on Scottish students at Louvain, on the dress of the Jacobite Army, and on the correspondence of George III.
