Volume I presents a collection of one hundred and ninety Scottish songs with poetry edited and annotated by Dr. Charles Mackay, while Volume II adds one hundred and forty three songs collected and edited with new accompaniments by Myles B. Foster, making this a wonderfully substantial archive for anyone who loves Scottish heritage, folk music, or vintage sheet music collections. Beyond the content, these books are simply striking on display: deep cobalt blue cloth boards with ornate embossed detailing, gilt titling, and that dramatic “Royal Edition” cover design that looks incredible in a library, music room, or on a styled shelf. Inside you will find page after page of printed musical notation with lyrics, the kind of “at home” parlor music that defined the Victorian era, when families gathered around a piano and national song collections helped preserve local identity and tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Author | Dr. Charles Mackay (poetry editor, Vol. I); J.

The gilt page edges have dulled and worn in areas, reducing the crispness of the original finish. Internally, the pages are toned and carry scattered foxing and spotting, most concentrated toward the early leaves of each volume. One volume has a notable tear to an early leaf near the front, and there are small edge flaws to a few additional pages. The books remain readable and presentable, and they display beautifully as a Victorian decorative set, but buyers who require clean internal condition should note the foxing and leaf damage before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50908731506966,"sku":"AMD-03264","price":425.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/DSA01866.jpg?v=1768239573","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/songs-of-scotland-2-volume-royal-edition","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
