A HANDSOME DRAWING-ROOM EDITION OF

THE POEMS AND SONGS

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.'
