HA R. Ry M U I R.
A Story of Scot.ish Life.
By the uthor of
" Passages In the Life of MrAs. Margaret Maitland," &C.
FROM THE ATHEIVEIIH.
"We prefer Harry Muir' to most of the Scottish novels that have
appeared since Galt's domestic storm were published. This new
tale, by the author of Margaret Maitland,' is a real picture of the
weakness of man's nature, and the depths of woman's kindness. The
narrative, to repeat our praise, is not, one to be entered on or parted
from without our regard for its writer being increased."
