THE author does not attempt elaborate word-pictures, that would seempale beside the artist’s colouring. His design has been, asaccompaniment to these beautiful landscapes, an outline of Scotland’ssalient features, with glimpses at its history, national character, andcustoms, and at the literature that illustrates this country for theEnglish-speaking world. While taking the reader on a fireside tourthrough the varying “airts” of his native land, he has tried to show howits life, silken or homespun, is a tartan of more intricate pattern thanappears in certain crude impressions struck off by strangers. And intohis own web have been woven reminiscences, anecdotes, and borrowedbrocade such as may make entertaining stripes and checks upon agroundwork of information. The mainland only is dealt with in thisvolume, which it is intended to follow up with another on the Highlandsand Islands.
