A Prayer in a Wolf's Mouth: Poems 2013â2014 by Richard MilazzoLike Branches to Wind: Poems 2008 by Richard Milazzo
Linda Hogan. Dark, Sweet: New and Selected Poems. Minneapolis. Coffee House Press. 2014. isbn 9781566893510 From the beginning of her career, Linda Hogan’s often prayer-like poems evoke liminality , speaking from blurred boundaries of animal and human, self and other, but it is the constant interpenetration of the sacred and mundane, which poet-theorist Jennifer Gosetti-Ferencei calls “the ecstatic quotidian ,” that sets Linda Hogan’s work on a p…
The Life and Work of Richard John Seddon (Premier of New Zealand, 1893–1906): With a History of the Liberal Party of New Zealand
A successful journalist, naturalist and author, James Drummond (1869–1940) began his biography of Richard John Seddon (1845–1906), New Zealand's prime minister, while his subject was still alive and in office. Originally intended as a collaborative effort, the work had to be completed without further assistance following Seddon's sudden death on a voyage from Australia to Auckland in June 1906. It was published in 1907, along lines 'that Mr Seddo…

He published scientific papers on biology and zoology as well as geology and, with James Drummond, wrote two popular works, Nature in New Zealand (1902) and The Animals of…
An Overview of Terra Mission Results Related to the Carbon Cycle
Launched in December 1999 as the Earth Observing System's flagship observatory, the Terra Mission (formerly EOS AM-1) carries a suite of five instruments that collect comprehensive global measurements of earth's atmosphere, cryosphere, lands, and oceans. One of the mission's science goals is the collection of data that will enable a better quantitative understanding of earth's carbon cycle through direct observation of atmospheric constituents an…

Vacation Notes in Cromar, Burghead, and Strathspey: Including Notice of one of the Supposed Burial-Places of St Columba
This article describes some of the sites of archaeological interest that the author encountered in Aberdeenshire and Moray in 1873. He describes the sites as he found them and then extrapolates on the local folklore about them and any historical background he researched while writing up his paper. Some of the other topics he covers include the location of St Columba’s burial, religious or superstitious healing traditions in the area, extracts fro…
Notes upon some Scottish Historical Portraits - John Knox and George Buchanan
Notice of Some Medieaval Triumphs and Processions
Some time ago I was asked by a friend to look over his engraved portraits and prints, illustrative of the life and actions of one whose history has become of world-wide celebrity, a sort of hero of romance, more perhaps from his misfortunes than from any real greatness of character. This collection is one of the most extensive and curious ever brought together in connection with one individual, and although I take no little interest in my friend'…
Notes on some of the Ancient Monuments of Iona
Notice of a Highland Target, having Embossed upon it the Cognisance of the Lord of the Isles
There is a class of Scottish antiquities to which hitherto comparatively little attention has been paid by the archreologist. I mean the warlike weapons, offensive and defensive, of our Highland forefathers, many of which were used down to a comparatively recent period. Of all such much ignorance seems to prevail, and among none more so than the Highlanders themselves, who almost invariably answer inquiries as to age, &c., that they had no doubt …
Notes of Early Monumental Art in the West Highlands
Following on from his previous paper (see Vol VIII, pp.117-120), Mr Drummond continues his discussion of monumental slabs in the West Highlands. He comments on the ornamental features found on some of the stones on Iona, and then goes on to discuss some of the stone art found near the chapel of St Cormac at Eilean Mor
Notice of an Iron Mask
The mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask having lately heen brought prominently before the public, it occurred to me that the exhibition at this meeting of an iron mask in my possession would interest the members of the Society. In doing so, however, it is not my intention to enter into any discussion as to who really was the victim known in history as the Man in the Iron Mask, further than to remark, that no better illustration could be given tha…
Notes made during a wandering in the West Highlands; with Remarks upon the Style of Art of some Monumental Stones at Iona, and in other Localities
This paper examines tombstones and crosses found in the West Highlands. The author explains that some of these monuments have been moved from their original locations and others, such as the tombstones in Kilmartin, have been deliberately damaged. He also notes that monuments on Iona have been placed upside down and briefly comments on the common symbols found on medieval tombstones in these locations
Notice of the Clach-a-Charra, a Stone of Memorial at Onich, in Lochaber
Notice of the 'Bluidy Banner' of Drumclog and Bothwell Brig, preserved at Dunbar
The author presents several illustrations of banners used by the Covenanters in the Seventeenth century. He focuses on one banner in particular that he has an unusually thorough provenance for thanks to information he gained from its owners. He uses the discussion of these items to highlight the brutality of the conflict and to raise questions about the reliability of written records from the time

Notice of some Stone Crosses, with Special Reference to the Market Crosses of Scotland
This article describes the design, construction and use of mercat crosses in towns across Scotland. There is discussion of the tools that could be used to punish misdemeanours that were often either attached to or near crosses. The author presents the accounts for the construction of a cross in Edinburgh in 1617 to illustrate the kind of money that could be charged for the building of these crosses. There are also some first-hand accounts of even…
Notice of the Ancient Monument, supposed to be that of James, first Earl of Morton, in the Church of Dalkeith
The author highlights the apse of the old church in Dalkeith, in particular the carved figures found in the apse. Sir Walter Scott argued that these figures represented knights, whereas Drummond believes that James Douglas, fourth lord of Dalkeith and his wife Johan. He then goes on to emphasise the artistry of the monument
