Mr. Watson has unearthed an interesting and unhackneyed episode of the later years of Prince Charles Stuart—the “Bonnie Prince Charlie” of song and story. It is woven into a romance unusually full of atmosphere. It has a sombre background due to the growing disillusionment of the Pretender’s followers. There is a nakedly truthful picture of the characters of the hunted plotters. But the shadow only throws into brighter contrast its story of love and courage. There may be some who will pick up the book out of curiosity to compare it with “Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush,” by Ian Maclaren, the author’s father, but they will finish it for its own sake for the interest of the story.
