Excerpt from Selections From the Early Scottish Poets: Edited With Introductionm, Notes and Glossary It is a common error to regard the Scottish language as a corrupted and somewhat barbarous dialect of English. So far from this being so, the Lowland Scots is an ancient tongue, at least as ancient as that spoken on the Thames, and fully as well entitled to call itself English, as being the direct descendant of the old Northern or Angle speech. In the very earliest Old English (or Anglo-Saxon) literature we find four forms of speech: the Northumbrian north of the Humber, the Mercian or Midland between the Humber and the Thames, the West Saxon at the south, and the Kentish in the south-east. Of these the Northumbrian and the Midland were both Anglian, or developments of the language of the Angles, the most numerous and powerful of the conquerors of Britain.

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.
