"Scotland in Eclipse"

A critique of Scotland in general. Sir Harry Lauder in particular, was published last week by eminent Scottish Lawyer Andrew Dewar Gibbs, entitled Scotland in Eclipse.

Recalling that Sir Harry's impersonations include an idiot Scotch boy who drools into a kitchen bowl, and a Scotchman who constantly wipes his nose with his sleeve, and that Sir Harry's principal joke is still the one about stinginess, Critic Andrew Dewar Gibbs summed up:

"In the face of such revolting abjectness of spirit [as Sir Harry's], criticism can but hang its head and be dumb."

Sought out by London reporters, asked to comment, Sir Harry began to chuckle, broke into a giggle, finally roared with laughter--his only comment. Critic Gibbs flays his countrymen in general for reacting to jibes or criticism which they feel keenly "by a sham display of pretended amusement."
