Book Notice.

We have received from the publishers, Dodd, Mead and Co., a copy of "Kate Carnegie," Ian Maclaren's first long novel.

The scene of this story is "Drumtochty" and many of the characters in the "Bonnie Brier Bush" and "Days of Old Lang Svne" reappear in its pages. The author tells the story of the strong and simple love of Carmichael, a Covenanting Minister, and Kate Carnegie, a girl of Jacobite descent, and the stress between their mutual love on the one side, and their political and religious differences on the other, furnishes material for a story full of delightful situations in which the author moves the reader's sympathies and appeals to his sense of humor. Those, however, who came to it expecting a story, or a "novel" will be disappointed, for it is really nothing more than a series of most delightful sketches of the characters in Drumtochty.
