Stories. 



Mr. Robert Barr can tell manv kinds of 

 stories and can place them in many lands, but 

 after all he is not a Scotchman for nothing, and 

 he shines with an accession of brilliancy in 

 recounting mad tales of that adventurous and 

 humorous gentleman, |ames V of Scotland. 

 "Jimmy' he was in the familiar talk of his 

 humbler subjects, and fimmy he must always be 

 to the readers of these Hvelv records.
