POETRY
Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers, and other Poems. By
W. Edmondstoune Aytoun, D.C.L., Professor of Rhetoric and Belles-Lettres
in the University of Edinburgh. Fourteenth Edition, Foolscap Octavo, 7s. 6d.
“ Mr Aytoun’s ‘Lays’ are truly beautiful, and are perfect poems of their 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 battle of Flodden, and not feel
that the minstrel’s soul has caught the genuine inspiration?”—Morning Post.
“ Professor Aytoun’s * Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers ’—a volume of verse which shows that
Scotland has yet a poet. Full of the true 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.
Aytoim’s Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers. An Illustrated
Edition. From Designs by J. Noel Paton and W. H. Paton, 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 artists nave excelled themselves in the engravings which they have furnished. Seizing
the spirit of Mr Aytoim’s * Ballads ’ as perhaps none but Scotchmen could have seized it, they
have thrown their whole strength into the work with a heartiness which others would do well
to imitate. Whoever there may he that does not already know these * Lays * we recommend at
once to make their acquaintance in this edition, wherein author and artist illustrate each Other
as kindred spirits should. ”—Standard.
Bothwell: A Poem. By W. Edmondstoune Aytoun, D.C.L.,
Professor of Rhetoric and Belles-Lettres in the University of Edinburgh. Third
Edition. Foolscap Octavo; 7s. 6d.
“ A noble poem, healthy in tone and purely English in language, and closely linked to the
historical, traditions of his native country.”—Jolm Bull.
“ Professor Aytoun has produced a fine poem and an able argument, and ‘Bothwell* will
assuredly take its stand among the classics of Scottish literature. ”—The Press.
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 he 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 he 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.

Aytoun and Theodore Martin. Second Edition, Foolscap Octavo, 6s.

sarcasm from becoming tedious.”—Literary Gazette.

“ Of do modem writer can it be affirmed with less hesitation, that she has become an English
classic; nor, until human nature becomes very different from what it now is, can we imagine

sentiment to charm the gentle heart.—Blackwood's Magazine.
