THE POETICAL WORKS OF SIR WALTER SCOTT COMPLETE EDITION, WITH ILLUSTRATIONS. 66 BOSTON: JAMES R. OSGOOD AND COMPANY, 10 UNIVERSITY PRESS: WELCH, BIGELOW, & Co., BEQUEST ATE OF SETTIE ELURF STE-NE JUKE 10, 1980 PUBLISHERS' NOTE. No series of Poetical Publications has ever proved more immediately successful than the DIAMOND EDITION OF THE POETS. It was begun in 1866 with Tennyson's Poems, and the popularity which attended its first publication is undiminished. The Poems of Longfellow and Whittier followed with a like result. It is proposed to continue this series of beautiful and complete little volumes, until they shall form a choice Cabinet Library of Popular Poetry. The Poems of Scott are now added to the collection. Various as are the editions of Scott, there is no one in the market which answers the popular want of an edition containing all his poetry, in a compact volume, free from the notes and introductions which swell most of the editions to an inconvenient size. The Publishers trust the DIAMOND SCOTT will prove such an edition, and that it will keep pace with its predecessors in the public favor. |
