Author has hope that he who reads this volume will have a share of the pleasure which fell to his own lot while he visited the scenes he has endeavoured to describe and illustrate. He desires that his pictorial pages may aid those whose time is spent in earnest labour, amid the disturbing influences of city life, to live over again the health-giving days spent in our mountain land, and is wishful that his Rambles may prove an agreeable book companion to all who make its acquaintance. He has not entered the fields of archreology, history, or science. As author and artist he has enrolled himself a graduate in Dame Nature sschool. The pictures were taken from our Highland and Island land and sea-scape, and drawn on the wood from his original sketches by his own hand. He gladly acknowledges his indebtedness to Messrs. Dalziel Brothers for their faithful and appreciative rendering of his drawings. 2( Broughton Pliicf, Edinburgh. A ugust, ifriJ.
