W . E dmondstoune A y to UN, D.C.L., Professor o f Rhetoric and Belles-Lettres
in the University of Edinburgh. Fourteenth Edition, Foolscap Octavo, 7s. 6d.
“ Mr Aytoun’s ‘Lays’ are truly beautiful, and are p erfect poems of the ir class, pregnant with
fire, with patriotic ardour, with loyal zeal, with exquisite pathos, with noble passion. Who can
hear the opening lines descriptive of Edinburgh after the great b attle of Flodden, and not feel
th a t the minstrel’s soul has caught th e genuine inspiration?”—Morning Post.
“ Professor A ytoun’s * Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers ’—a volume of verse which shows th a t
Scotland has yet a poet. Full of the tru e fire, it now stirs and swells like a trumpet-note—now
sinks in cadences sad and wild as the wail of a Highland dirge. Quarterly Review.
Aytoun’s Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers. An Illustrated
Edition. From Designs by J. N oel P aton and W. H. P aton, A.R.S.A. Engraved
by John Thompson, W. J. Linton, W. Thomas, Whymper, Cooper, Green,
Dalziels, Evans, &c. In Small Quarto, printed on Toned Paper, bound in gilt
cloth, 21s.
“ The a rtists nave excelled themselves in the engravings which they have furnished. Seizing
th,e spirit of Mr Aytoun’s ‘ Ballads ’ as perhaps none b u t Scotchmen could have seized it, they
have thrown the ir whole strength into the work w ith a heartiness which others would do well
to imitate. Whoever there may be th a t does not already know these ‘ Lays ’ we recommend at
once, to make the ir acquaintance in this edition, wherein author and a rtist illustrate each other
as kindred spirits should. ■—Standard.

“ A noble poem, healthy in tone and purely English in language, and closely linked to the
historical traditions of his native country.”—John Bull.

The Ballads of Scotland. Edited hy Professor Aytoun.
Second Edition. Two Volumes, Foolscap Octavo, 12s.
“ No country can boast of a richer collection of Ballads than Scotland, and no Editor for
these Ballads could be found more accomplished than Professor Aytoun. He has sent forth
two beautiful volumes which range with Percy’s ‘Reliques ’—which, for completeness and accuracy,
leave little to be desired—which must henceforth be considered as the standard edition of the
Scottish Ballads, and which we commend as a model to any among ourselves who may think of
doing like service to the English Ballads. ”—The Times.
