Edgar, Madalen G. Stories from Scottish history. 60c. Crowell.
Uniform with the “Children’s favorite classics.” A bright series of narratives based on Scott’s “Tales of a grandfather,” running continuously from the struggle for freedom under Wallace and Bruce to the union of the crowns.

“His book is not only a conscientious and well-reasoned presentation of his own point of view; it will also assure his readers, whatever their own prepossessions, of the adherence of the best instructed among the younger clergy to the ancient lines of the faith.”
