Henderson, Thomas F., and Watt, Francis. Scotland of to-day. il. **$2. Pott.

“The authors take up the religion, the art, the literature, the games, the institutions, the food and drink, the education, the wit and humor, of the Scotland of to-day, and treat them all briefly but entertainingly. There is description also of towns and scenery, but preference is constantly given to the human element. But modern Scotland is shown against the background of its history and its achievements of former ages.”—N. Y. Times.

“Whoever wishes to enjoy a picture of the Scotland of to-day, somewhat sketchy in effect, but still strong and interesting in its outlines, will find it in ‘Scotland of to-day.’”
