_COMPLETION OF THE COPYRIGHT EDITION OF_

WILSON'S TALES OF THE BORDERS.

EDITED BY ALEXANDER LEIGHTON,

One of the Original Editors and Contributors.

In announcing the completion of the Copyright Edition of the BORDER

TALES, the Publisher does not consider it necessary to say anything

in recommendation of a work which has stood the test of a general

competition, and which has increased in public favour with its years.

Equally suited to all classes of readers, it has been received with

delight in the school-room, the drawing-room, the parlour, and the

village reading-room. Many of the Tales have been publicly read. The

high tone of its morality renders it an admirable small library for

young members of the family.

The new Copyright Edition will contain four additional Volumes, now

first published, which will complete the work. It will be issued in

Twenty-four Monthly Volumes, price 1s. each, sewed in elegant wrapper,

commencing March 1st, 1869. But at the same time the entire work will be

kept on sale, so that all who desire to possess it--either complete, or

any separate volume thereof--can be supplied at once. Each volume is

complete in itself, forming an independent collection of stories. The

work may also be had in Twelve Double Volumes, handsomely bound in

cloth, price 3s. each, or in half-calf extra, for libraries, etc.

Those who already possess the first twenty Volumes are recommended to

complete their sets by purchasing the four New Volumes, the last of

which will contain a Steel Portrait of the Editor and principal

contributor, Alexander Leighton, with a copious Glossary.
