The first feeling which Mcleod Of
the CamerOns" causes in the reader
is lively sensation of having been
defrauded. for the book is by the au-
thor of "a Self-Denying Ordinance"
which, while rather long drawn-out
and painful, had a vast number of
minor excellences and attractions, and
was decidedly one of the better nov
els OF last year. Mcleod" is long
draWn-6ut and painful, too, but there
are FEWER compenSatiOns than its pre-
decesSor contained. M Hamilton has
the glft Of drawing characters which
are l1fehke to a certain point but vet
are not flesh and blood. Therefore

tragic, and the anguish of the hero
is not convincing, in spite Of the fac;
mat the DOCK contains a number of
strong situations. With all it's faults
1t is more interesting reading than the
average novel. but its superiorities
serve chiefly to illuminate its dofician
cies.

treatise on government. the greatest
English drama of the age! All Lon
