Excerpt from Waverley, or 'Tis Sixty Years Since, Vol. 1 of 2: Waverly Novels The Author of Waverley has heard it objected to this novel, that, in the character of Callum Beg, and in the account given by the Baron of Bradwardine of the petty trespasses of the Highlanders against tri ing articles of property, he has borne hard, and unjustly so, upon their national character. Nothing could be farther from his wish or intention. The character of Callum Beg is that of a spirit naturally turned to dar ing evil, and determined, by the circumstances of his situation, to a particular species of mischief. Those who have perused the curious Letters from the High lands, published about 1726, .will find instances of such atrocious characters which fell under the writer's own observation, though it would be most unjust to consider such villains as representatives of the High landers of that period, any more than the murderers of Marr and Williamson can be supposed to represent the English of the present day. As for the plunder supposed to have been picked up by some of the in surgents in 1745, it must be remembered, that al though the way of that unfortunate little army was neither marked by devastation nor bloodshed, but, on the contrary, was orderly and quiet in a most wonder ful degree, yet no army marches through a country in a hostile manner without some trespasses and seve ral, to the extent, and of the nature, jocularly imputed to them by the Baron, were really laid to the charge of the Highland insurgents for which many traditions, and particularly one respecting the Knight of the Mirror, may be quoted as good evidence.

Excerpt from Waverley, or 'Tis Sixty Years Since, Vol. 1 of 2 To this slight attempt at a sketch of ancient Scottish manners, the public have been more attentive than the Author durst have hoped or expected. He has heard, with a mixture of satisfaction and humility, his work ascribed to more than one respectable name. Con siderations, which seem weighty in his particular situ ation, prevent his releasing these gentlemen from sus picion, by placing his own name in the title-page so that, for the present at least, it must remain uncertain, whether waverley be the work of a poet or a critic, a lawyer or a clergyman, or whether the writer, to use Mrs. Malaprop's phrase, be like Cerberus - three gentlemen at once. The Author, as he is uncon scious of any thing in the work itself (except perhaps its frivolity) which prevents its finding an acknowledg ed father, leaves it to the candour of the public to choose among the many circumstances peculiar to different situations in life, such as may induce him to suppress his name on the present occasion. He may be a writer new to publication, and unwilling to avow a character to which he is unaccustomed or he may be a hackneyed author, who is ashamed of too fre quent appearance, and employs this mystery, as the heroine of the old comedy used her mask, to attract the attention of those to whom her face had become too familiar. He may be a man of a grave profession, to whom the reputation of being a novel-writer may be prejudicial; or he may be a man of fashion, to whom writing of any kind might appear pedantic. He.

Excerpt from Waverley, or 'Tis Sixty Years Since, Vol. 2 of 2 The manner and air of Waverley, but, above all, the glittering contents of his purse, and the indifference with which he seemed to regard them, somewhat overawed his companion, and deterred him from making any attempts to enter upon conversation. His own reflections were moreover agitated by vari ous surmises, and by plans of self-interest, with which these were intimately connected. The trav ellers journeyed, therefore, in silence, until it was interrupted by the annunciation, on the part of the guide, that his naig had lost a forefoot shoe, which doubtless his honour would consider it was his part to replace.

Excerpt from The Waverley Novels, Vol. 1 of 5: With the Author's Last Corrections and Additions To this i may add, i can easily conceive that there may have ben circumstances which gave a colour to the general report of my brother being interested in these works; and iii particular that it might derive strength from my having occasion to remit to him, in consequence of certain family transactions, some considerable sums of money about that period. To which it is to be added, that if any person chanced to evince particular curiosity on such a subject, my brother was likely enough to divert himself with practising on their credulity.

Waverley, Or 'Tis Sixty Years Hence, Complete by Sir Walter Scott - The Original Classic Edition Finally available, a high quality book of the original classic edition. It was previously published by other bona fide publishers, and is now, after many years, back in print. This is a new and freshly published edition of this culturally important work, which is now, at last, again available to you. Enjoy this classic work today. These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside: It has been the occasional occupation of the Author of Waverley, for several years past, to revise and correct the voluminous series of Novels which pass under that name, in order that, if they should ever appear as his avowed productions, he might render them in some degree deserving of a continuance of the public favour with which they have been honoured ever since their first appearance. ...The Author also proposes to publish, on this occasion, the various legends, family traditions, or obscure historical facts which have formed the ground-work of these Novels, and to give some account of the places where the scenes are laid, when these are altogether, or in part, real; as well as a statement of particular incidents founded on fact; together with a more copious Glossary, and Notes explanatory of the ancient customs and popular superstitions referred to in the Romances. ...I must refer to a very early period of my life, were I to point out my first achievements as a tale-teller; but I believe some of my old schoolfellows can still bear witness that I had a distinguished character for that talent, at a time when the applause of my companions was my recompense for the disgraces and punishments which the future romance-writer incurred for being idle himself, and keeping others idle, during hours that should have been employed on our tasks. ...Without being so presumptuous as to hope to emulate the rich humour, pathetic tenderness, and admirable tact which pervade the works of my accomplished friend, I felt that something might be attempted for my own country, of the same kind with that which Miss Edgeworth so fortunately achieved for Ireland-something which might introduce her natives to those of the sister kingdom in a more favourable light than they had been placed hitherto, and tend to procure sympathy for their virtues and indulgence for their foibles. ...But while I was myself silent, their belief could not weigh much more with the world than that of others; their opinions and reasoning were liable to be taxed with partiality, or confronted with opposing arguments and opinions; and the question was not so much whether I should be generally acknowledged to be the Author, in spite of my own denial, as whether even my own avowal of the works, if such should be made, would be sufficient to put me in undisputed possession of that character.
