The text contains only a few verses and comments interspersed between the original illustrations, as well as a list of the illustrations. The meat of the book is in the sketches themselves, which are available in the HTML. A note from David Widger on "A Short History of Scotland" #15955: For those wishing to know: it's a shorter version of Andrew Lang's 4 volume History of Scotland. As a general overview of Scottish History it's fine and Lang doesn't assume you know all of the details. ~ ~ ~ Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritations and resentments slip away and a sunny spirit takes their place. - Mark Twain ============================================================================= _______________________________________________ gweekly mailing list gweekly@lists.pglaf.org http://lists.pglaf.org/listinfo.cgi/gweekly
