THE MINSTRELSY OF THE SCOTTISH BORDER.

COLLECTED AND EDITED BY

SIR WALTER SCOTT, BART.

According to Mr. Motherwell, the Editor of "Minstrelsy, Ancient and Modern, 1827," the Old Ballads, which appeared for the first time in this collection, are forty-three in number, and he adds:-" Fortunate it was for the heroic and legendary song of Scotland that the work was undertaken, and still more fortunate that its execution devolved upon one so well qualified in every respect to do its subject the most ample justice. It is 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 Scotland, have wholly failed from the living memory, that this gift can be duly appreciated. 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 stern 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."

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 Octavo, with Eight Engravings from TURner. Cloth lettered, 10s. 6d.
