“ Here is one of the books which are at present coming singly and at long 
intervals, like early swallows, to herald, it is to be hoped, a larger flight. 
When the larger flight appears, the winter of our discontent will have passed, 
and we shall be able to boast that the short story can make a home east as 
well as west of the Atlantic. There is plenty of human nature—of the Scottish 
variety, which is a very good variety—in ‘ The Stickit Minister ’ and its com¬ 
panion stories ; plenty of humour, too, of that dry, pawky kind which is a 
monopoly of ‘ Caledonia, stern and wild ’; and, most plentiful of all, a quiet 
perception and reticent rendering of that underlying pathos of life which is to 
be discovered, not in Scotland alone, but everywhere that a man is found who 
can see with the heart and the imagination as well as the brain. Mr. Crockett 
has given us a book that is not merely good, it is what his countrymen would 
call ‘ by-ordinar’ good/ which, being interpreted into a tongue understanded of 
the southern herd, means that it is excellent, with a somewhat exceptional kind 
of excellence.”—ZW/y Chronicle.

SUN- 
BY 
S. R. CROCKETT 
Sixth Edition. Crown 8m, cloth, 6a« 
“ Mr. Crockett's * Lilac Sun-Bonnet ’ ‘ needs no bush.' Here is a pretty love 
tale, and the landscape and rural descriptions carry the exile back into the 
Kingdom of Galloway. Here, indeed, is the scent of bog-myrtle and peat. 
After inquiries among the fair, I learn that of all romances, they best love, 
not ‘sociology/ not ‘theology/ still less, open manslaughter, for a motive, but 
just love’s young dream, chapter after chapter. From Mr. Crockett they get 
what they want, ‘ hot with/ as Thackeray admits that he liked it.”
