_Books worthy to be reprinted_ (Vol. vii., pp. 153. 203.).--In addition
to those previously mentioned in "N. & Q.," there is one for which a
crying necessity exists for a new edition, namely, _The Complaynt of
Scotland_. It is often advertised and otherwise sought for; and when
found, can only be had at a most extravagant price. It was originally
written in 1548; and in 1801, a limited impression, edited by Dr. Leyden,
was published; and in 1829, "Critiques upon it by David Herd, and others,
with observations in answer by Dr. Leyden," to the number of seventy
copies. _The Complaynt of Scotland_ and _Sir Tristrem_, an edition of
which was edited by Sir Walter Scott, and published in 1804, are two of
the oldest works of which the literature of Scotland can boast.
