THE PEOPLE’S EDITION OF
TYTLER’S
HISTORY OF SCOTLAND,
FROM THE ACCESSION OF ALEXANDER III. TO THE UNION.
‘The most brilliant age of Scotland is fortunate in having found a historian whose sound judgment is accompanied by a graceful liveliness of imagination. We venture to predict that this book will soon become, and long remain, the standard History of Scotland.’—Quarterly Review.
‘The want of a complete History of Scotland has been long felt; and from the specimen which the volume before us gives of the author’s talents and capacity for the task he has undertaken, it may be reasonably inferred that the deficiency will be very ably supplied. The descriptions of the battles are concise, but full of spirit. The events are themselves of the most romantic kind, and are detailed in a very picturesque and forcible style.’—Times.
COMPLETION OF THE COPYRIGHT EDITION OF
WILSON’S
TALES OF THE BORDERS,
AND OF SCOTLAND:
HISTORICAL, TRADITIONARY, AND IMAGINATIVE.
Edited by ALEXANDER LEIGHTON,
One of the Original Editors and Contributors.
In announcing the completion of the Copyright Edition of the Border Tales, the Publisher does not consider it necessary to say anything in recommendation of a work which has stood the test of a general competition, and which has increased in public favour with its years. Equally suited to all classes of readers, it has been received with delight in the school-room, the drawing-room, the parlour, and the village reading-room. Many of the Tales have been publicly read. The high tone of its morality renders it an admirable small library for young members of the family.
The new Edition is comprised in Twenty-four Volumes, sewed in elegant wrapper, price 1s. each. Each volume is complete in itself, forming an independent collection of stories. The work may also be had in Twelve Double Volumes, handsomely bound in cloth, price 3s. each, or in roxburgh, gilt top, 4s. each, and in substantial quarter calf and half calf bindings, suitable for libraries, etc.
Those who already possess the first twenty Volumes are recommended to complete their sets by purchasing the four New Volumes, the last of which contains a Steel Portrait of the Editor and principal contributor, Alexander Leighton, with a copious Glossary.
