By JOHN GALT. The dry humour and whimsical sweetness of John Galt's
masterpiece need no description at this time of day--it is one of those
books, full of "the birr and sneddum that is the juice and flavour" of
life itself, which, like good wines, are the better for long keeping. It
was the first "kail-yard" to be planted in Scottish letters, and it is
still the most fertile. The volume contains sixteen of Mr. Kerr's
water-colours, reproduced in colour. 316 pp. Buckram, 5/- net; Leather,
7/6 net.
