WILSON'S

TALES OF THE BORDERS

AND OF SCOTLAND:

HISTORICAL, TRADITIONARY, AND IMAGINATIVE.

REVISED BY ALEXANDER LEIGHTON.

No collection of tales published in a serial form ever enjoyed so great a popularity as "THE TALES OF THE BORDERS;" and the secret of their success lies in the fact that they are stories in the truest sense of the word, illustrating in a graphic and natural style the manners and customs, trials and sorrows, sins and backslidings, of the men and women of whom they treat. The heroes and heroines of these admirable stories belong to every rank of life, from the king and noble to the humble peasant.

"THE TALES OF THE BORDERS" have always been immensely popular with the young, and whether we view them in their moral aspect, or as vehicles for instruction and amusement, the collected series forms a repertory of healthy and interesting literature unrivalled in the language.

The Scotsman says:-"Those who have read the tales in the unwieldy tomes in which they are to be found in the libraries will welcome the publication of this neat, handy, and well-printed edition." The Dundee Advertiser says:-"Considering how attractive are these tales, whether regarded as illustrating Scottish life, or as entertaining items of romance, there can be no doubt of their continued popularity. We last read them in volumes the size of a family Bible, and we are glad to have an opportunity to renew our acquaintance with them in a form so much more handy and elegant."

EACH VOLUME WILL BE COMPLETE IN ITSELF. London: WALTER SCOTT, 24 Warwick Lane, Paternoster Row.

Square 8vo. Price One Shilling each.

POLICE SERGEANT C 21:

THE STORY OF A CRIM E.

BY REGINALD BARNETT.

"The plot is ingenious, the interest is well sustained throughout, and the style is distinctly above that of the ordinary 'shilling shocker.' At times, indeed, Mr. Barnett reminds us of Gaboriau, whose M. Lecoq (as M. Lecoq was in his younger days) the policeman-hero resembles in a considerable degree.”— Graphic.

JACK DUDLEY'S WIFE.

By E. M. DAVY, Author of " A Prince of Como," &c.

"The tale is written with excellent skill, and succeeds in holding the interest well up from first to last."-Scotsman.

Oak-Bough and Wattle-Blossom

STORIES AND SKETCHES BY AUSTRALIANS IN ENGLAND.
Edited by A. PATCHETT MARTIN.

Vane's Invention: An Electrical Romance

By WALTER MILBANK.

"The story is capitally told."-Scotsman.

THE POLICEMAN'S LANTERN:

STRANGE STORIES OF LONDON LIFE.

By JAMES GREENWOOD, "The Amateur Casual."

London: WALTER SCOTT, 24 Warwick Lane, Paternoster Row.
