READING LIST ON SCOTLAND

PREFACE

This list is intended for the reader who desires general information on Scotland. It aims to include popular modern works in English on history, description, religion, literature and art.

The student will find material of great value in the publications of such learned societies as the Spalding Club, in Chalmers's Caledonia and in histories such as Tytler, written in the early part of the 19th century.

After the union, the record of Scottish history must be looked for almost entirely with that of England. In the field of religion there is much material written in stilted, old-fashioned style, while popular modern works are not numerous. In literature, only the works of the four best known authors have been included. A list of historical fiction on Scotland may be found in E. A. Baker's Descriptive guide to the best fiction, 1903.

No special division has been made for biography, the lives of Scotsmen eminent in various fields being given in their respective places under each subject. Attention is directed to a series of brief, popular biographies published by Scribner at 75c a volume, called the Famous Scots series, including authors, statesmen, churchmen, The contents are as follows:

From earliest times through 1689. One of the best short histories, the result of deep research, it is clear, accurate and impartial though somewhat lacking in enthusiasm. Primarily a political history, it also gives a brief survey of the literature and social life of each epoch.
