WILSON’S TALES OF THE BORDERS AND OF SCOTLAND: HISTORICAL, TRADITIONARY,
AND IMAGINATIVE.
REVISED BY ALEXANDER LEIGHTON.
No collection of tales published in a serial form ever enjoyed so great a
popularity as “THE TALES OF THE BORDERS;” and the secret of their success
lies in the fact that they are stories in the truest sense of the word,
illustrating in a graphic and natural style the manners and customs,
trials and sorrows, sins and backslidings, of the men and women of whom
they treat. The heroes and heroines of these admirable stories belong to
every rank of life, from the king and noble to the humble peasant.
The _Scotsman_ says:—“Those who have read the tales in the unwieldy
tomes in which they are to be found in the libraries will welcome the
publication of this neat, handy, and well-printed edition.”
The _Dundee Advertiser_ says:—“Considering how attractive are these
tales, whether regarded as illustrating Scottish life, or as entertaining
items of romance, there can be no doubt of their continued popularity. We
last read them in volumes the size of a family Bible, and we are glad to
have an opportunity to renew our acquaintance with them in a form so much
more handy and elegant.”
