ADVERTISEMENT. THE Poems of Sir Walter Scott are reprinted from the standard edition of Cadell, Edinburgh, 1851. The smaller pieces, dispersed through several volumes in that edition, are here, with the "Imitations of the Ancient Ballad," from the Border Minstrelsy, arranged continuously; and in compliance with a demand for completeness, we have inserted immediately after these, various trifles printed in Lockhart's Biography, and not generally received into the collections, together with the poetry of the Waverley Novels. The Memoir is extracted from an edition of Scott's poetry, by Adam and Charles Black, Edinburgh, 1853. |
