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.

HIGGIE & CO., PUBLISHERS. 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.^

The earliest publications connected with Kothe- say were Directories, and they are interesting reading even at this time of day. Our publication not only includes Rothesay, but embraces the whole County of Bute, and though it has increased in usefulness and circulation, its price and advertisement tariff have remained the same.

Several ne\Yspapers on the Continent, the British Isles, the Colonies and the Ameiicas, regularly print. Esperanto articles with a translation, for the benefit of their readers. The following is from the "Stirling Sentinel" of 5th March, 1907, being the translation of a recently-received post-card, containing a spontaneous appreciation of what has the distinction of being the first national guide-book in' the international language.

" To Messrs Higgie & Co., Publishers in Rothesay, ScotlalKl. Esteemed friends,— An unforseen opportunity has allowed me to read through the brochure published by you about Bonnie Scotland in the Esperanto language. This little book I have read several times : by its description of Scotland it has afforded me it much pleasure : by I have begun to know your "beautiful country—the character of the people of Scotland, its manners, its religion. I have begun, to kno\y about the degree of Scottish civilisation, about its superior literature in science and art, its com- organisations, munal such as banks and public offices ; about Scottish industry, and many other things. Hearty thanks to you, gentlemen, for so beautiful publications "in the Esperanto language. By such a work you prove that Esperanto is useful for inter- national relations, and for a fraternisation of the peoples of divers nationalities. I triumph now for the success of Esperanto, but bef(n-e I had to bear much for its name. People have mocked at me, blamed me, annoyed me, and even insulted me, but I bore everything obstinately, and preached our idea. I am no longer mocked at : I am praised. Accept from me, worthy sirs, my sincere greeting." —— This shows how thoroughly practical Esperanto is, and w'hat a beneficial and inter- national future it has befor« it. The above is not a rarity to Messrs Higgie and other Esperantists, but an ordinary occurrence. An Esperantist has the whole world— irres pective of belief, language or country— before him, and all desire better acquaintance. Parish of Cumbrae.

THIS pamji comprises the islands of the Great and Little Cumbrae off the Ayi-shire coast. The Bm-gli of Millport, on the larger Isle, is a popular watering-place. This isle is 12 miles in circumference, and has a well-made road- round it. On the smaller isle is the Cumbrae Lighthouse.

Memoranda of Articles Borrowed.

Article. Borrowed from \ Returned. Date. 1 | This Directory now-a-days contains the information dis* tinctive of both the Directory aad the Almanac of past years, and the date of its issue is gradually becoming mid- way between the original dates of issue of these two publications. We begin our researches early enough, but the airy Summer publications must hustle out while the sun shines. The Directory, although very useful to the fluctuating visiting population, is not necessarily a fine- weather publication, but a hardy permanent resident.

Our aim, in this publication, is not to record the passing names and achievements of visitors and those who come to cater for them, but something of far greater importance—the recording of the names, standing and businesses of the the resident population, for the information of all having an interest in Buteshire, its burghs and rural districts.

Although the pages containing the official information are annually increasing, we do not strive to give the names of all the householders—some do not wish it, and there is an increasing number of unoccupied houses during winter. The burgh police " had their eye on " over 750 such last winter.

The Directory is, of course, not only for the remaining por- tion of the year in which it is issued, but continues the only printed reference book for the county of Bute until its successor appears.

One edition of the Directory is no sooner off than we begin to note alterations (and prepare for probable additions) for the next—so as to be unmistakeably up to date. We are far from being able to publish everything that we desire, and we throw out the hint that the outlying dis- tricts of the county would be benefited if their capacities were made known through the Bute County Directory.

This Directory is not only found all over Buteshire, but in the libraries and other places of public resort in "the adjacent islands of Great Britain and Ireland." HIGGIE & 00.

Guide on a point of " Really an Internation 1 National Honour." Publication." ; ESPERANTO

The International Literary Platform.

THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE is growing steadily in Great Britain, though here the confusion of tongues is not accent- uated as elsewhere. Like the introduction of steam, gas and electricity, it discovered false and timorous prophets, who saw in the rising star a fleeting amusement like ping-pong or a craze for cranks. The flights of the imagination are^ wonderful ! There are misgiTings and hallucinations about an international language, but these are disappearing. The London County Council was among the first of the public bodies to officially recognise the importance of this international code, and the humour of "Punch " on the occasion reflected more intelligence than in some places where practical wisdom is sup- posed to be encouraged. Do not pack in your portmanteau From Lahinch to far Lepanto, Books of classic verse If equipped with Erse, Purchase guides in Esperanto, And in fluent Esperanto Manuals of Erse, Able to convej'se, Fogazzaro's tale II Sauto, You will fare without confusion Walpoie's Castle of Gtranto, Over land and «ea— Dante's most inspiring canto, Such at least is the conclusion Grow more fine, more terse, Of the L. C. C. Rendered into Esperanto, Versified in Erse. (Punch, October, 1906.

From our insular position we as a nation are not conspicuous as linguists, but while, in 1902, there was in this language only one group in Britain (founded, by the way, by a journalist), there were «ight under the British Esperanto Association in 1903, 14 more in 1904, another 14 in 1905, 35 new ones in 1906, and 1907 is doing well. The acquisition of the new language imposes no obligationa and there are many classes and groups unattached to the British Esperanto Association. There are, besides, hundreds of publications in the new lingvo, and whether they are j)rinted at home or abroad, they are easily " read by all samideanoj." . _
