Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Studies in Lowland Scots The treatment is novel in so far as it is done from this Scots point of view. While we are all Indo-Germanic, it is impossible to affirm, in any precise sense, that the Lowland Scot is a lineal descendant of the Moeso-Goth, but what I have tried to make good is, that the speech of Bishop Wulfila's flock is as intelligible to the Scot now as, say, that of the Cumberland dalesman. Among the Low-German tribes - Dutch, Frisian, Norse - who must have early made themselves free of both shores of the North Sea, I do not venture to affirm which formed the link of connection and blood-brotherhood between Lowlander and Goth. That there was such a vital link is indubitable on the evidence of speech. Within these extremes will be found a mass of illustrative matter drawn from comparison with the kindred dialects of Cumberland and the Scots Border, and from the South African Taal, which has preserved so much of what was once the common stock of shrewd, Bible and home-loving Hollander and Scot. Finally, and forming the kernel of the whole, the section entitled "Field Philology" gathers up the reminiscences, in phrase, folklore, and social customs, of a mid-Victorian rural Scotland at a time when home industries still lived, when railways were a wonder, and scientific inventions a dream. Here will be found much in idiom and vocable that has never yet been recorded. To the genuinely patriotic Scot, at home and abroad, I venture to appeal for recognition of the fact that this is, at least, a praiseworthy effort to preserve somewhat of his rare bi-lingual inheritance, and to offer an incentive to kindred workers in the field. Nor should it fail to interest also the student of English, which, on historical lines, owes so much to comparison with Northern speech. Such comparison the philological expert might also fitly welcome as the true method of scientific progress.

The skillful use of the Scots language has long been a distinguishing feature of the literatures of Scotland. The essays in this volume make a major contribution to our understanding of the Scots language, past and present, and its written dissemination in poetry, fiction and drama, and in non-literary texts, such as personal letters. They cover aspects of the development of a national literature in the Scots language, and they also give due weight to its international dimension by focusing on translations into Scots from languages as diverse as Greek, Latin and Chinese, and by considering the spread of written Scots to Northern Ireland, the United States of America and Australia. Many of the essays respond to and extend the scholarship of J. Derrick McClure, whose considerable impact on Scottish literary and linguistic studies is surveyed and assessed in this volume.
