SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
_TIMES._--"It would be difficult to find in these days a more
competent and sympathetic editor of Scott than his countryman, the
brilliant and versatile man of letters who has undertaken the task,
and if any proof were wanted either of his qualifications or of his
skill and discretion in displaying them, Mr. Lang has furnished it
abundantly in his charming Introduction to 'Waverley.' The editor's
own notes are judiciously sparing, but conspicuously to the point,
and they are very discreetly separated from those of the author, Mr.
Lang's laudable purpose being to illustrate and explain Scott, not to
make the notes a pretext for displaying his own critical faculty and
literary erudition. The illustrations by various competent hands are
beautiful in themselves and beautifully executed, and, altogether,
the 'Border Edition' of the Waverley Novels bids fair to become the
classical edition of the great Scottish classic."
_SPECTATOR._--"We trust that this fine edition of our greatest and
most poetical of novelists will attain, if it has not already done
so, the high popularity it deserves. To all Scott's lovers it is
a pleasure to know that, despite the daily and weekly inrush of
ephemeral fiction, the sale of his works is said by the booksellers to
rank next below Tennyson's in poetry, and above that of everybody else
in prose."
