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._
'An accurate, well-digested, well-written History; evincing
deliberation, research, judgment, and fidelity.'--_Scotsman._
'The tenor of the work in general reflects the highest honour on Mr.
Tytler's talents and industry.'--_Sir Walter Scott._
'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._
