_A HANDSOME DRAWING-ROOM EDITION OF_
THE POEMS AND SONGS
OF
ROBERT BURNS.
_WITH ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS BY THE MOST
DISTINGUISHED SCOTTISH ARTISTS._
'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._
