STUDIES OF NATUEE 



ON THE 



COAST OP ARBAN 



CHAPTEE I 



To make this earth, our hermitage, 

 A cheerful and a changeful page, 

 God's bright and intricate device 

 Of days and seasons doth suffice.

IN Arran once more ! And once more at the 

 dear old hamlet of Corrie. To come here now 

 means not only to attain peace and rest, much-

 things familiar and already enshrined in the 

 memory the charm, in short, of change and 

 freshness mingled with wont and custom.
