Allan Ramsay's Fables & Tales - Grand Format

Allan Ramsay's rollicking Scots satires are brought together here for the first time in a two-volume set complete with a biographical introduction, on-page glosses and extensive notes. A short linguistic supplement appended to vol. 2 contains his observations on English and Scots (1721), his Scots-English glossary (1729), and an exhaustive rhyme list compiled from the text of the present edition that may serve as a guide to his pronunciation.
