In this definitive work for our generation, Donald Low brings together, for the first time, the words and tunes of all Burns' known songs, both `polite' and bawdy. The Songs of Robert Burns were, in their author's eyes, the crown of his achievement as a poet. After years of study and investigation, many hours spent listening to old airs, as he recalled the living, daily, song-life of the people of Scotland, and through the creation of some of the finest lyric poetry produced in the British Isles, Burns' success is beyond doubt.

An entertaining collection of wills, reflecting the times and the people who wrote them. This collection offers delightful reading for lawyers and laymen alike. As the author states: Wills reflect, as a mirror, the customs and habits of the times when written, as well as the characters of the writers. In the category of ancient wills, the reader will find the oldest written will, dated at 2550 B.C., as well as wills of such personages as Plato and Aristotle. Other categories in the collection include: wills in fiction and poetry; curious wills; testamentary and kindred miscellany; wills of famous foreigners, such as Napoleon and William Shakespeare; and wills of famous Americans, such as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.

Recollecting is a rich collection of essays that illuminate the lives of late eighteenth-century to the mid twentieth-century Aboriginal women, who have been overlooked in sweeping narratives of the history of the West. Some essays focus on individual women - a trader, a performer, a non-human woman - while others examine cohorts of women - wives, midwives, seamstresses, nuns. Authors look beyond the documentary record and standard representations of women, drawing also on records generated by the women themselves, including their beadwork, other material culture, and oral histories.
