'Of all the handsome reprints of the works of "nature's own" bard, this

"Edina" edition of the Poems and Songs of Burns is perhaps the

handsomest yet produced. Beautifully printed, and profusely illustrated

by some of the most distinguished of the Scotch academicians, it forms a

shrine worthy of the genius of the "poet of the land of the mountain and

the flood." It is, as might be expected, Scottish in every

respect,--printer, publisher, and illustrators; and as also we think it

should; for with whom could it be so much a labour of love to produce a

first-rate edition as with one of Burns's own countrymen? and who should

be better able to illustrate the "brown heath and shaggy wood" of

Scotia's scenery than her own sons?'--_The Examiner._
