Book excerpt: In printing this New Edition of the Waverley Novels, the Publishers have availed themselves of the opportunity thus afforded them of carefully collating it with the valuable interleaved copy in their possession, containing the Author's latest manuscript corrections and notes; and from this source they have obtained several annotations of considerable interest, never before published. As examples of some of the more important of these may be mentioned the notes on ``High Jinks'' in Guy Mannering, ``Prtorium'' in the Antiquary, and the ``Expulsion of the Scotch Bishops'' in the Heart of Midlothian. There have also been inserted (within brackets) some minor notes explanatory of references now rendered perhaps somewhat obscure by the lapse of time. For these, the Publishers have been chiefly indebted to Mr. David Laing, Secretary of the Bannatyne Club, and one of the few surviving friends of the Author. Fortunately there is now little more required in the way of annotation to the Waverley Novels; but in order to afford every facility of reference, a special glossary has been added to such of the novels as require it, and each volume will contain a separate index. A General Index will also be appended to the concluding volume of the series.
