NOTICE OF THE PUBLISHERS.

THE contents of the present volumes are selected from various miscellaneous publications, which the illustrious author has occasionally honoured by his contributions, and are now for the first time given to the public in a collected form. The importance justly attached to every production of Sir Walter Scott, would doubtless secure a favourable reception to any republication of this naturebut it is submitted that even a peculiar value may be assigned to Biographical Notices, and opinions on contemporary talent, by so eminent a judge and accurate a delineator of human nature, feeling, and character.
