The work known as "Watson's
Collection" has long been "extremely scarce," and when a copy has occurred
for sale, could only be obtained at an increasingly extravagant price. To
meet the demand thus indicated, and render this important work accessible to
the growing class of Book Collectors, the present limited fac simile reprint
was projected and for the cordial support which it has received from the
lovers of our early Scots literature, who have so promptly subscribed,
acknowledgment and thanks are here tendered by
THE PUBLISHERS.
In the Introduction to this
book the Publishers have given some interesting background information on
James Watson and we've extracted that for you to
read here. |
