when the second had need of the first; and the times were, and for some
are not yet past, when the condition of the clergy gave them a very
powerful claim on the generosity of the physicians. A poor clergyman,
settled in London on a curacy of fifty pounds per annum, with a wife
and numerous family, was known to the good Quaker, Dr. Fothergill. An
epidemic disease seized upon the curate's wife and five children. In
his distress he looked to the doctor for his assistance, but dared not
apply to him, not being able to pay him for his attendance. A friend,
who knew his situation, kindly offered to accompany him to the Doctor's
house, and give him his fee. They took the advantage of his hour of
audience; and, after a description of the several cases, the fee was
offered, and rejected, but note was taken of the curate's place of
residence. The Doctor called assiduously the next and every succeeding
day, until his attendance was no longer necessary. The curate, anxious
to return some mark of the sense he entertained of the Doctor's
services, strained every nerve to accomplish it; but his astonishment
was not to be described, when, instead of receiving the money he
offered, with apologies for his situation, the Doctor put ten guineas
into his hand, desiring him to apply without diffidence in future
difficulties.--Dr. Wilson, of Bath, sent a present of £50 to an
indigent clergyman, whom he had met in the course of practice. The
gentleman who had engaged to convey the gift to the unfortunate priest,
said, "Well, then, I'll take the money to him to-morrow." "Oh, my dear
sir," said the Doctor, "take it to him to-night. Only think of the
importance to a sick man of one good night's rest!"

A SUPERB GIFT-BOOK.
The 'Edina' Burns.
_JUST READY_,
Beautifully printed on the finest toned paper, and elegantly bound in
cloth extra, gilt edges, price One Guinea; or Turkey morocco extra,
price Two Guineas; or in clan tartan enamelled, with photograph of the
Poet, price Two Guineas.
_A HANDSOME DRAWING-ROOM EDITION OF_
THE POEMS AND SONGS
OF
ROBERT BURNS.
_WITH ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS BY THE MOST DISTINGUISHED SCOTTISH
ARTISTS._
The 'EDINA' EDITION of BURNS contains Sixty-four entirely Original
Illustrations, drawn expressly for it; and the names of the Artists who
have kindly given their assistance--comprising several of the most
distinguished members of the Royal Scottish Academy--are a sufficient
guarantee that they are executed in the highest style of art. The
engraving of the Illustrations is executed by Mr. R. PATERSON; and the
volume is printed by Mr. R. CLARK, Edinburgh.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON THE 'EDINA BURNS.'
The Times.
'The arts of the printer and engraver show to advantage in this Scotch
edition of the Poems and Songs of Burns. The Artists who supply the
Illustrations are all of the land of Burns, and the book owes nothing
to handicraftsmen on this side the Tweed. Many of the engravings are
excellent, particularly the landscape sketches. Altogether the book is
a handsome one, and to the "Scot abroad" it would be difficult to make
a more acceptable present.'
Pall Mall Gazette.
'Mr. Nimmo's illustrated edition of the "Poems and Songs of Robert
Burns" is a book upon which the publisher has evidently bestowed great
care. Limiting himself to the art and industry of his own country, he
has endeavoured to unite Scotland's best draughtsmen, engravers, and
printers in the production of a worthy edition of Scotland's greatest
and dearest poet. The result is very satisfactory. It is certainly a
very meritorious production, and one which does great credit to the
publisher.'
The Examiner.
'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."'
Court Circular.
'If we were asked what is the best and handsomest edition of Burns
extant, we should answer--and we call the special attention of the
reader to the distinguishing title which the publisher has affixed to
this volume--the "Edina."'
Saturday Review.
'This is, as it ought to be, a Scotch edition. It is of Scotland,
decidedly Scottish. Scotch as to author, printer, publisher, and
illustrator. The whole thing has a decidedly pretty and whiskyish look;
or, rather, to speak more decorously, it recalls the land of the
heather and the flood throughout.'
Illustrated London News.
'The magnificent "Edina" edition of his works is a noble tribute
rendered to the genius of Burns by the graphic and typographic skill
and taste of Edinburgh, the city which gave him an admiring welcome in
his lifetime, and where his monument has been erected.'
Court Journal.
'If Burns could have lived to see himself in such a jacket of gold and
red as Mr. Nimmo of Edinburgh puts upon him this year, he would, we
think, have shed a tear of gratitude, for pride would have been foreign
to so great a heart.'
Illustrated Times.
'Many editions of the works of the immortal Scottish bard have passed
under our notice within the last few years, but none equal to the
"Edina Burns," just published by Mr. Nimmo.'

A Tale. By DAVID SMITH.
'To that portion of the public which cares about knowing such things,
it has not been unknown for some time that Mr. David Smith, brother of
the poet Alexander, is likewise in possession of the literary faculty,
and even of the gift of song; but this beautiful little book, which
will be the delight of all boys and the admiration of many men, so for
as we are aware, is the first substantive work from his pen. Meant as
it is for a boy's book, it presents a terseness in the style, a poetic
tint in the language throughout, and a vividness in the descriptive
passages, which we do not often find in such literature in
England.'--_Daily Review._

THE PEOPLE'S EDITION OF
TYTLER'S HISTORY OF SCOTLAND.
'The most brilliant age of Scotland is fortunate in having found a
historian whose sound judgment is accompanied by a graceful liveliness
of imagination. We venture to predict that this book will soon become,
and long remain, the standard History of Scotland.'--_Quarterly Review._
'An accurate, well-digested, well-written History; evincing
deliberation, research, judgment, and fidelity.'--_Scotsman._
'The tenor of the work in general reflects the highest honour on Mr.
Tytler's talents and industry.'--_Sir Walter Scott._
'The want of a complete History of Scotland has been long felt; and
from the specimen which the volume before us gives of the author's
talents and capacity for the task he has undertaken, it may be
reasonably inferred that the deficiency will be very ably supplied. The
descriptions of the battles are concise, but full of spirit. The events
are themselves of the most romantic kind, and are detailed in a very
picturesque and forcible style.'--_Times._
