Excerpt from The Heather on Fire: A Tale of the Highland Clearances I seem to hear many a reader ask whether such atrocities as are described in "The Heather" on Fire have indeed been committed within the memory of this generation. Let him be assured that this is no fancy picture; that, on the contrary, the author's aim has been to soften some of the worst features of the heart-rending scenes which were of such frequent occurrence during the Highland Clearances. Many of them are too revolting for the purposes of art; for the ferocity shown by some of the factors and ground-officers employed by the landlords in evicting their inoffensive tenantry, can only be matched by the brutal excesses of victorious troops on a foreign soil.

Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ...as if they also mourned the dead; Then keenly sniffed the air, and barked and leaped About the woman's skirts. The children wept. Steps crackled on the leaves. And like a dart Straight aimed, flew Michael, straining Mary to his heart. LX. Lo, all her pent-up anguish, all her fears, Then broke their flood-gates in a storm of tears Upon her husband's shoulder; with her arms Locked closely round him, the fell night's alarms, The home in ashes laid, the sick and old Relentlessly thrust forth into the cold Autumnal night--yea, all the pain and trouble Seemed bearable to her, now that her heart was double. LXI. Few were his words. What comfort was in speech? The news had smitten Michael on the beach, Where late at night he landed. For a cloud Of densely rolling smoke hung like a shroud On the familiar cliffs and well-known bay, Till the bewildered mariners lost their way Even in broad noon, but won the shore at night. Piloted by the flames that flashed from vale and height. LXII. Oh, ghastly home-coming! Oh, cruel blow! To find their levelled walls and huts laid low; Their crofts destroyed, their stacks of fragrant hay Devoured of greedy flames or borne away By all the winds of heaven. Oh, harrowing sight! Sore labour's fruits all wasted in a night; The banished clansmen hurrying to the shore, To sound of pipes that wail, Farewell for evermore. LXTII. They fly and turn not on the hireling band, That unresisting drives them from their land. Dowered with the lion's strength, like lambs they go, For saith the preacher: "God will have it so.

Fire and Ecosystems focuses on a number of aspects of fire ecology. This book deals separately with both harmful and beneficial effects of fire on soils, soil organisms, animals, and plants. This reference material elucidates the effects of fire on grasslands and considers the role of fire in temperate forests and related ecosystems. Four chapters are presented on a regional basis to highlight variations in responses, especially plant succession, to fire. The use of fire in land management is also explored. This book will serve as an invaluable reference material to researchers, teachers, and land managers.
