The author being a golfer, there I naturally an essay on golf, Bir Edward is puzzled to find in his "Marginilin" ao fow allusions to golf in the early novelists. Of Sir Walter Scott he writes: "Nor, in- deed, does he seem to have under- stood how it was played"; and he genially commenta: "Novelists, however, are subject to no laws which prevent them writing about matters they do not understand, lse would much pleasant litera ture be lost to the world." While to-day, he states, we are all versed in the "queen of gumen,” yet as lato na 1892, when Stevenson pub-| ished "Catriona," he thought well to add an explanatory footnote as to the meaning of the title of his chapter "The Tee'd Ball."
