Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From Scottish History: In Prose and Verse; Selected From the Works of Standard Authors The plan of this book is similar to that of the Tales from English History and the Tales of Chivalry. "My aim," as I said in the preface to the latter, "is to edit certain selections from standard prose and poetry suited either for 'supplementary reading, ' as it is called, or for elementary study in English literature. The brief foot-notes under the text are perhaps all that some teachers will regard as necessary for the former purpose; but I believe that the longer notes at the end of the book will be found more or less useful and suggestive for oral instruction in connection with the reading-lessons. These latter notes, however, are more especially designed for the other purpose I have mentioned - elementary study of language and literature. They have been prepared with much care, and I am confident that they will be perfectly intelligible to boys and girls in grammar schools and others of similar grade." How I think the books should be used is explained in a little pamphlet of "Hints to Teachers," which may be obtained, post-free, from the publishers. The selections are arranged in historical or chronological order, and the book is complete in itself, as every volume of the series is intended to be. Of the selections from Scott, the two concerning Mary Queen of Scots are condensed from The Abbot, the Rob Roy is from the introduction to the novel with that title, and The Battle of Preston Pans is from Waverley. The rest are from the Tales of a Grandfather. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2011-01 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In offering this volume to the public, the Editor avails himself of the opportunity it affords of explaining its objects, and the circumstances which led to its publication. A History of Galloway was recently issued, from his press, containing all the most important information relating to the district up to the date of its appearance. For that work he had been at much labour and expense in collecting information, books, manuscripts, &c...The amount of matter, which accumulated on his hands through the kindness of friends and his own researches, was very considerable. The principal part of the information so collected was incorporated in the History. Still several articles remained untouched; either because not altogether appropriate to the character of that work, or because they were too long to be inserted entire and did not admit of abridgment without greatly impairing their value.Under these circumstances, faithful to the impulse which prompted him to originate a his tory of his native district, he again solicits the patronage of the public to a collection of those pieces alongst with several original compositions; being assured they will form a not unacceptable volume, a*and which, while it may be considered a pendant to the History, is nevertheless complete in itself. The title which he has given to the work may perhaps be objected to as not sufficiently descriptive of the contents. On perusal however he is satisfied the reader will find it correct enough in the main, and greatly preferable to the loose and general term of Miscellany, which has been suggested to him. Every tale in the collection is founded on incidents which happened, or traditions which are current in that part of the south of Scotland, which constituted the Lordship of Galloway in its most flourishing days, or written by individuals connected with the district; and the locality of the scenes, as stated on the title-page, has accordingly been made commensurate with the ancient boundaries. -- From the Preface
