This Guide to Inverness and the Highlands, now in its fifth year, has from the very first been in every respect a marked success. It is very highly and universally praised by the press and the public and it had from the outset a very large circulation. The Letterpress was extended during the last two years by seventy to eighty pages, while the pictorial attractiveness and usefulness of the book are much enhanced by a new artistic cover, a specially prepared coloured Street Plan of Inverness, and a Map of Scotland showing all the routes described north of Edinburgh and Glasgow. But notwithstanding all these extensions and improvements the publishers have resolved to reduce the price this year from its former price of a Skillmg to SIXPENCE per copy. This is made possible in consequence of the large circulation which it has attained—which will probably now at this nominal price be trebled or quadrupled and the valuable advertising patronage which has naturally followed its phenomenal success otherwise. It is believed the publishers may claim for it to be the best Guide in the market at such a price. The Illustrations are admittedly the finest of their kind that ever appeared in any similar work, while as regards the literary contents every effort has been put forth to make them worthy of the Scottish Highlands. The Guide, the first part of which is a succinct history of Inverness, is so arranged as to enable the tourist to find any part of the Town he may desire without difficulty. The earlier sections deal with the great progress which the Highland Capital has made within the last thirty years, and its history and chronology from the earliest times to the present d.^y. Its situation and climate are next enlarged upon. Then follows a brief but comprehensive account ot all its principal buildings and places of interest. In the second section is a complete Guide to the whole Highlands. P^inally, the more noted places and buildings along the various routes by road, steamer, or rail, and the most striking features of the magnificent and varied scenery which everywhere abounds are briefly but sufficiently described.

Opinions of the Press of the First Edition. —<» i!===:i:=Sffi^f9==i::::>T—«> , " The first complete and authentic account of Flora Macdonald's life, and her memorable achievement in contriving the escape of Charles Edward, that has yet been written. The narrative is written in a singularly simple and unpre- tentious style, and undoubtedly forms a valuable contribution to the history' of one of the most interesting episodes in Scottish annals."—Scotsman " The book is one of great value, occupying a unique place as the only j authoritative life of a woman whose heroic conduct has won universal admiration.
