A Special EDINBURGH EXHIBITION YEAR Issue is now being prepared for the International Event to be held in the Metropolis during 1908, Special Editions of the Introductory Portions have been printed in the International Language, and Circulated Throughout the World with much acceptance. See Opinions oi the Press Following upon this success, there is already being prepared in the " Lingvo Inter- nacia " another brochure, extracted from the appended pages, entitled " The Scot Abroad," giving " glints " at the enjoyments of our kith and kin ayont the seas. Many foreigners wish to see views of the varied scenery they read about, and those who visit our shores also wish to carry away with them similar souvenirs of the places they have seen. VV'e have prepared (in commemoration of the Esperanto Congress, held in Great Britain this jear) a special booklet of 32 FULL-PAGE VIEWS TYPICAL OF SCOTTlJ§H {!iCEI¥JERY with succinct descriptions in both Esperanto and English languages. 6d. SCOTLAND PIONERED THE INTEENATIONAL LANGUAGE ! AVhile the international language which is likely to be universally adopted is only 20 years old, and only four years ago introduced into Great Britain, it is 250 years ago since two well-known, travelled, and far-seeing Scots made serious attempts to create universal a means of communications betw-een persons of different nationalities, but the tiane was not then ripe for the million. We will remember these pioneers at the Edin- burgh Literuational Exhibition in 1908 (to commemorate the union of Scotland with England) by issuing this Book of ^'iews of Scottish Scenery, with, perhaps, important additions, if the enterprise is as much appreciated in this country as it is beyond it. These booklets can be had from the Pubhshers (postage ^d and Id), or from any Caledonian, Burns, Scott, Carlyle, or other Scots Worthy or Clan Society, or any British or P'oreign Esperanta Groupo throughout the World.

BOTEMAP OF PKEFACE TO 1907-8 EDITION. WE have again much pleasure in giving the honours of the Press to a new issue of this useful Buteshire reference book—thoroughly overhauled and brought up to date- All the previous sections are continued, and to facili- tate the search for information the different portions are again printed on distinctively coloured papers—a change of acknowledged benefit. Our Advertising friends and the Prominent Business Firms in the District have appreciated the distribution of their announcements facing the text of the book, and we hope the continued prompt receipt of orders _will enable us to make this decided benefit permanent. Our desire is to overlook no one, and with that view we respectfully solicit notices of alterations or additions as early as possible, so that they may be given effect to. This Directory is a more important publication than many imagine. It is not only found at all times throughout the county, but also in the libraries of Glasgow, Edin- burgh, London, Dublin, Cambridge, Oxford, &c., and in numerous business houses and agencies in busy «entre«i throughout the kingdom, so we are particularly anxioui that nothing of benefit to Buteshire be omitted, but that every interest has a good show, and everything be brought thoroughly up to date. Our best thanks are again accorded to those who have in any way helped us in this compilation. It takes long and careful vigilance to ascertain and give effect to the •ontinual changes, and prompt information and orders are, consequently, particularly acceptable and valuable. :HIGGIE & CO., Publishers.^ Rothesay, August, 1907.

The story of the Historic Families of Ayrshire is one of «xceptional interest, as well from the personal as from the county, as here and there from the national, standpoint. As one traces it along the centuries he realises, what it is sometimes difficult to do in a general historical survey, what sort of men they were who carried on the succession of events, and obtains many a glimpse into their own character that reveals their individuality and their idiosyncracies, as well as the motives that actuated and that animated them.

"V^E have pleasure in again producing the Bute County Directory, and continuing all the Lists of Public Officials, Society Office-Bearers, &c., for the whole County and the towns and villages within its bounds ; the Householders lists in the whole Isle of Bute ; and specially-prepared i of those engaged in Trade in the Islands of Bute and Cumbrae. The subject matter, though not much increased from former years, is arranged in a more get-at-able style—the several parts being printed on different coloured papers, and we are sure Advertisers will appreciate their notices being printed facing the general information. Our best thanks are again accorded to those who have assisted us in our compilation of the " intelligence department" of Buteshire, to Advertisers and Subscribers for their patronage, and those who have had the courtesy to acknowledge compliments.
