He has sent forth two beautiful volumes which range with Percy's Reliques'-which, for completeness and accuracy, leave little to be desired-which must henceforth be considered as the standard edition of the Seottish Ballads, and which we commend as a model to any among ourselves who may think of doing like service to the English Ballads.”—Times.
