Works Illustrative of Scottish Character and Scenery—Continued.
THE HISTORY OF SCOTLAND from 1249 to 1603. By
Patrick Fraser Tytler, Esq. Seven vols. 8vo, cloth, £2:12:6.
THE MINSTRELSY OF THE SCOTTISH BORDER.
Collected and edited by Sir Walter Scott, Bart. The drawings in the
volumes are from the hand of Mr. Turner, to whom the subjects were pointed
out by Sir Walter Scott, when that great artist visited him at Abbotsford in
the Autumn of 1830. In four vols. foolscap 8vo, cloth, with Eight Engravings
by Turner, and many of the Ancient Border Melodies set to Music, price
10s. 6d.
“ Truly a patriot’s legacy to posterity; and much as it may be now esteemed, it is only
in times yet gathering in the bosom of futurity, when the interesting traditions, the
chivalrous and romantic legends, the wild superstitions, the tragic songs of Scot¬
land, have wholly failed from the living memory, that this gift can he duly appre¬
ciated. It is then that these volumes will be conned with feelings akin to religious
enthusiasm, that their strange and mystic lore will be treasured up in the heart as
the precious record of days for ever passed away—that their grand stem legends
will be listened to with reverential awe, as if the voice of a remote ancestor from
the depths of the tomb had woke the thrilling strains of martial antiquity.”
