SCOTLAND.

THE Proprietors of the present undertaking respectfully state, that their object is to supply the Public with a STANDARD EDITION OF THE BEST HISTORIANS in the English Language, printed in a superior manner, on good paper, and at a price greatly below what has been charged, for the same Works, for the last twenty years.

As this Collection will be uniform, it is the intention of the Publishers to make a fair allowance for the old and inferior Editions of the same Authors, to those who may wish to possess these improved Works, and thereby encourage, what has for a long time been an important DESIDERATUM, both with the Reader and Collector, viz:

GOOD BOOKS, WELL PRINTED, AND AT LOW PRICES.
