Crown 4to, beautifully printed on the finest toned paper, and elegantly bound in cloth extra, gilt edges, price Twelve Shillings and Sixpence; or in morocco extra, Twenty-five Shillings. · ILLUSTRATIONS BY THE MOST DISTINGUISHED The Examiner. 'Of all the handsome reprints of the works of "nature's own" bard, this "Edina" edition of the Poems and Songs of Burns is perhaps the handsomest yet produced. Beautifully printed, and profusely illustrated by some of the most distinguished of the Scotch academicians, it forms a shrine worthy of the genius of the "poet of the land of the mountain and the flood." It is, as might be expected, Scottish in every respect,-printer, publisher, and illustrators; and as also we think it should; for with whom could it be so much a labour of love to produce a first-rate edition as with one of Burns's own countrymen? and who should be better able to illustrate the "brown heath and shaggy wood" of Scotia's scenery than her own sons?' A VALUABLE AND ATTRACTIVE NEW GIFT-BOOK. In small 4to, price 10s. 6d., EPISODES OF FICTION; OR, Choice Stories from the Great Novelists. WITH BIOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTIONS AND NOTES, &c. This work is profusely Illustrated with Original Engravings by the most distinguished Artists. It is beautifully printed at the BALLANTYNE PRESS on superfine paper, and elegantly bound in cloth and gold. The Engraving has been executed by MR. ROBERT PATERSON, Edinburgh, who is well known for the excellence of his work. These volumes contain some curious and interesting anecdotes never before published in connection with the memorable escape of the Prince, and also an authentic Portrait of Flora. Second and cheaper Edition, crown 8vo, cloth extra, 3s. 6d., BEING THE REFLECTIONS AND RECOLLECTIONS OF A "This is a manly, earnest book. The author describes in a series of essays the life and work of a schoolmaster; and as he has lived that life and done that work from deliberate choice, his story is worth hearing.'-The Spectator. 'A Book about Dominies is an extremely clever and amusing series of sketches by one who describes himself as of the profession. . . . In a modest preface he expresses a belief that such a book may be made as amusing as many novels in Mr. Mudie's Library. The Book about Dominies is a hundred times more amusing and interesting than nine out of ten of such novels.' -Morning Star. Author of A Book about Dominies,' etc. "This volume is full of knowledge, both useful, and entertaining, in the truest sense of the words, and it is impossible to put it down without a feeling of personal kindliness towards the author. If our readers think we have praised too much and criticised too little, we can only say, there is something about the book which disarms one's critical faculty, and appeals to them to judge for themselves. We should like to see it in the hands of every parent and schoolmaster in England.' -Saturday Review. This is really a delightful work, and one which we hope will find its way into the hands of every parent and every boy in the kingdom.'-The Globe. 'We should like to see this book, together with a new one which we are promised, and which will be sure to be worth reading, not only in the hands of every teacher, but on the shelves of every school library.'-Educational Times. ΙΟ BOOKS PUBLISHED BY WILLIAM P. NIMMO. Four Volumes, or Four Volumes bound in Two, Roxburgh binding, crown 8vo, cloth, price 12s., THE PEOPLE'S EDITION OF TYTLER'S HISTORY OF SCOTLAND. '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. Demy 8vo, cloth, price 10s. 6d., JAMIESON'S SCOTTISH DICTIONARY. Abridged from the Dictionary and Supplement (in 4 vols. 4to) by JoHN JOHNSTONE. An entirely New Edition, Revised and Enlarged, by JOHN LONGMUIR, A.M., LL.D., formerly Lecturer in King's College and University, Aberdeen. COMPLETION OF THE COPYRIGHT EDITION OF WILSON'S TALES OF THE BORDER S. EDITED BY ALEXANDER LEIGHTON, 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.
