Excerpt from Romantic Edinburgh

IN bringing out, for the Coronation Year of George V., a new and revised edition of this book, acknow ledgment has to be made to Bailie Macfarlane, Convener of the Museum Committee of the Town Council, for permission to reproduce, in colour or in black-and-white, a selection of the views of Old Edinburgh, in which the Municipal Museum is so rich. Thanks have also to be given to Mr T. L. Usher, of the Park Brewery, for leave to reproduce the water-colour drawing of Edinburgh, in the Opening year of the reign of Queen Victoria, that is to be found at page 212. The growth of the City and the removal of ancient landmarks in the interval since the first edition appeared, have rendered necessary many additions and alterations. Doubtless there are errors that remain uncorrected. It is hoped, however, that the volume provides - brought up to date - a Vaa'e Macaw which the explorer of Edinburgh can take with him on his walks, or profitably peruse at the fireside.
