BARBOUR’S BRUCE, Edited from the MS., with Introduction and Notes, by John Jamieson, D.D. A Reprint of the Celebrated Edition of 1820.

“The Reprint is as good as the original, and therefore worth purchasing at once.”—Athenæum.

“Messrs. Ogle & Co. have done good service to Scottish Literature by their Reprint of ‘The Bruce.’”—London Scotsman.

“The present Publishers have just reproduced, in a neat and portable form, ‘The Bruce,’ a work which has justly been regarded as the Æneid of Scotland. It is the earliest heroic poem produced in any dialect of the Anglo-Saxon tongue, and may be characterised as ‘the well of Scottish undefiled.’”—North British Daily Mail.

“The Volume is admirably printed, and the taste displayed in its production reflects much credit upon the Publishers.”—Ayrshire Express.

“We gladly welcome the appearance of the First Volume of a New Edition, in convenient form, of the fine old Poems of ‘The Bruce’ and ‘Wallace.’”—Scotsman.

THE POETICAL WORKS OF SIR WILLIAM ALEXANDER, EARL OF STIRLING, now first collected, with Memoir and Notes. 3 Vols., Post 8vo, to range with Dyce’s Ford, &c.

“He was greatly superior to the style of his age.”—Horace Walpole.

“The ‘Parænesis’ of Sir William Alexander is a noble poem.”—Pinkerton.

“These pieces (the ‘Tragedies’) are not calculated for the stage; but include some admirable lessons for sovereign power, and several choruses written with no small share of poetic vigour.”—Dr. Drake.

“His ‘Parænesis’ and ‘Aurora’ are almost classical performances, and well merit re-publication.”—Dr. Anderson.

“John Dunbar, Arthur Johnston, and Andrew Ramsay, have lauded the Earl of Stirling in their Latin Poetry. Daniel has complimented him before the Edition of his ‘Philotas,’ in 1605. Davies of Hereford has done the same in his ‘Scourge of Folly’ and ‘Wits Bedlam.’ Hayman addressed his plaudits to him in his ‘Quodlibets.’ Habington commended his ‘Tragick Raptures’ and ‘Doomsday’ in ‘Castara,’ &c.”—Park’s Edition of Walpole’s Royal and Noble Authors.

“A masculine and vigorous writer, abounding with moral and political instructions.”—George Ellis.
