Scott, Sir Walter. [Waverley novels.] 25v. $31.25. Crowell.
The world created by Scott in his Waverley novels and peopled with vitally real characters will never grow old-fashioned nor uninteresting. The Waverley novels hold the present day fiction reader no less than the student of literature who appreciates the significance of the Scott novel as the forerunner of historical romance. The present edition is made from newly set type; each story contains the author’s own introduction, besides notes, glossary and index to characters and scenes. There are excellent illustrations, many of them being reproductions of paintings by the Fine arts association of Scotland. The books are strongly bound, boxed and sold only in sets.
