A Kingdom of the Mind. How The Scots Helped Make Canada. Many Canadians with a Scottish background still feel the pull of their Gaelic origins. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Scots dominated Montreal and, by extension, the rest of the country. Their habits and attitudes influenced business, education, science and medicine, the military, and even the way Canadians imagined themselves. In A Kingdom of the Mind ethnographers, material culture specialists, and contributors from a wide variety of disciplines explore the impact of the Scots on Canadian life, showing how the Scots' image of their homeland and themselves played an important role in the emerging definition of what it meant to be Canadian. Contributors include J. M. Bumsted (Manitoba), Edward J. Cowan (Glasgow), George Dalgleish (National Museums of Scotland), Marjory Harper (Aberdeen), H.P. Klepak ( Royal Military College of Canada), Gillian I. Leitch (Montréal), Roderick MacLeod (McGill University), Douglas McCalla (Guelph), Heather McNabb (McCord Museum of Canadian History), Irena Murray (Royal Institute of British Architects), Jock Murray (Dalhousie), Cath Oberholtzer (Trent University), Eileen Stack (McCord Museum of Canadian History), René Villeneuve (National Gallery of Canada), and Suzanne Zeller (Wilfred Laurier).

Pictish Sculpture and Metalwork in Early Medieval Scotland. The sculpture and metalwork of the Picts of Scotland form one of the great enigmas of early medieval art. Marginalized and dismissed for many years by art historians as inchoate and provincial, the large surviving Pictish corpus of cross-slabs, incised stones, and metalwork remained until recently the territory of archaeologists and those bewitched by the mysterious, unfathomable symbols found in so much of the art. Now, drawing upon art historical research and a lifetime of experience, George and Isabel Henderson show how the art of the Picts interacted with the currents of "Insular" art, and was produced by a sophisticated society capable of sustaining large-scale art programs. A masterpiece of scholarship and deduction, the book is illustrated with some three hundred photographs and newly commissioned line drawings and maps. Throughout, the authors give strong consideration to the formal qualities and the iconography of the works, illuminating some of the more intractable problems associated with the Picts, not least the meaning of the supposedly "pagan" symbols.
With its acute analysis of Insular art and questioning of the function and meaning of Pictish art, this book will be of interest to art historians, archaeologists, and medievalists of all disciplines, and is arguably the most important publication on this subject in over a century.

David Octavius Hill (1802-70) was a pioneer photographer in Scotland, and he was also a painter, and lithographer. In 1843, he entered into partnership with the young photographer Robert Adamson, and in the next four years they produced an extraordinary body of original and inventive work. This excellent book analyzes the photographic partnership, explains its remarkable success, and places it in the context of Hill's life and times.
