=Scottish Song.= A Selection of the Choicest Lyrics of Scotland.
Compiled and arranged, with brief Notes, by MARY CARLYLE
AITKIN. 18mo. 4_s._ 6_d._
"_Miss Aitken's exquisite collection of Scottish Song is
so alluring, and suggests so many topics, that we find
it difficult to lay it down. The book is one that should
find a place in every library, we had almost said in every
pocket, and the summer tourist who wishes to carry with
him into the country a volume of genuine poetry, will find
it difficult to select one containing within so small a
compass so much of rarest value._"--SPECTATOR.
MACMILLAN'S GLOBE LIBRARY.
_Beautifully printed on toned paper and bound in cloth
extra, gilt edges, price_ 4_s._ 6_d._ _each; in cloth
plain_, 3_s._ 6_d._ _Also kept in a variety of calf and
morocco bindings at moderate prices._
BOOKS, Wordsworth says, are
"the spirit breathed
By dead men to their kind;"
and the aim of the publishers of the Globe Library has been to make
it possible for the universal kin of English-speaking men to hold
communion with the loftiest "spirits of the mighty dead;" to put
within the reach of all classes _complete_ and _accurate_ editions,
carefully and clearly printed upon the best paper, in a convenient
form, at a moderate price, of the works of the MASTER-MINDS OF
ENGLISH LITERATURE, and occasionally of foreign literature in an
attractive English dress.
The Editors, by their scholarship and special study of their authors,
are competent to afford every assistance to readers of all kinds: this
assistance is rendered by original biographies, glossaries of unusual
or obsolete words, and critical and explanatory notes.
The publishers hope, therefore, that these Globe Editions may prove
worthy of acceptance by all classes wherever the English Language is
spoken, and by their universal circulation justify their distinctive
epithet; while at the same time they spread and nourish a common
sympathy with nature's most "finely touched" spirits, and thus help a
little to "make the whole world kin."
_The_ SATURDAY REVIEW _says_: "_The Globe
Editions are admirable for their scholarly editing, their
typographical excellence, their compendious form, and
their cheapness._" _The_ BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW
_says_: "_In compendiousness, elegance, and scholarliness,
the Globe Editions of Messrs. Macmillan surpass any popular
series of our classics hitherto given to the public. As
near an approach to miniature perfection as has ever been
made._"
