Hamilton's 'Glenburnie' and the late account of 'Highland Superstitions. But the first is confined to the rural habits of Scotland, of which it has given a picture with striking and impressive fidelity; and the traditional records of the respectable and ingenious Mrs. Grant of Laggan are of a nature distinct from the fictitious narrative which I have here attempted.
The children of the Scotch of the inferior classes are usually spoiled by the early indulgence of their parents; how, wherefore, and to what degree, the lively and instructive narrative of the amiable and accomplished authoress of "Glenburnie"* has saved me and all future scribblers the trouble of recording. Effie had had a double share of this inconsiderate and misjudged kindness.

She also wrote Letters on Education, Essays on the Human Mind, and The Hindoo Rajah. He was an officer in the army, and, on his retirement, settled in Edin., and became a contributor to Blackwood.
A line to say when and where to meet you is all we want, and you will find the warmest of welcomes awaiting you, and your own favorite room in the turret. Don't mention nephews or nieces in answering this. Your affectionate MARY GLENBURNIE Brother Archie's: Angel Betty, Help a brother in distress. I'm desperately in love. First of all, how long do you suppose it will last? Forever, I think.
Two works upon similar subjects, by female authors, whose genius is highly creditable to their country, have appeared in the interval; I mean Mrs. Hamilton's GLENBURNIE, and the late account of Highland Superstitions.
