THERE WAS PUBLISHED ON 1ST MAY, A NEW EDITION OF SIR WALTER SCOTT'S POETRY, COMPLETE IN ONE VOLUME, ROYAL OCTAVO, WITH PORTRAIT AND VIGNETTE. CLOTH LETTERED, This Volume contains the celebrated Introductions and Notes by the Author, of 1830, with many various Readings of the Text, taken from the original MSS. in the possession of the Publisher. EDITOR'S NOTICE. MARCH 1841. This Volume contains a more complete Collection of SIR WALTER'S POETRY than has ever before appeared. In addition to the great Metrical Romances, and the Miscellaneous Pieces given in the later Editions, it includes, for the first time, the Songs and Fragments scattered over his NOVELS, and various Specimens, both Serious and Comic, which were originally printed in the MEMOIRS OF HIS LIFE. As the object in the present Collection has been to adhere to the original productions of SIR WALTER, the old parts of the Romance of Sir Tristrem are not given, nor the Contributions to the Minstrelsy by other hands. In the arrangement of annotations, it has, upon mature consideration, been thought most advisable to follow, as nearly as possible, the plan originally adopted by the Poet himself. The Author's longer Notes, so rich in historical and biographical interest, are given in Appendices to the several Romances, and other larger performances; the short ones, explanatory chiefly of ancient words and phrases, at the bottom of the page. To avoid confusion, the Notes of the Editor are given with these last. |
