Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany of Useful and Entertaining Tracts
The public generally, and the booksellers in particular, were agreeably surprised to find the Minstrelsy, while bearing the unwonted imprint of Kelso, a marvel of beautiful-typography; a circumstance owing to the good taste of James Ballantyne, and which was of some avail in increasing the popularity of the work. It appears that Scott, besides some gains from the first edition, obtained soon after 500 for the Copyright.
