In connection with the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, a uniform series of 

 the Historians of Scotland, accompanied by English translations, a<id illustrated 

 by notes, critical and explanatory, was commenced some years since and has 

 recently been finished. 



So much has recently been done for the history of Scotland, that the necessity 

 for a more critical edition of the earlier historians has become very apparent. 

 The history of Scotland, prior to the i$th century-, must always be based to a 

 great extent upon the work of Fordun ; but his original text has been made the 

 basis of continuations, and has been largely altered and Interpolated by his con- 

 tinuators, whose statements are usually quoted as if they belonged to the original 

 work of Fordun. An edition discriminating between the original text of Fordun 

 and the additions and alterations of his continuators, and at the same time trac- 

 ing out the sources of Fordun's narrative, would obviously be of great importancf 

 to the right understanding of Scottish history. 



The complete set forms ten handsome volumes, demy 8vo, illustrated with 

 facsimiles.
