Book Description
Excerpt from The Complete Works of Sir Walter Scott, Vol. 1 of 7: With a Biography, and His Last Additions and Illustrations It is the intention of the publishers to give, in addition to the likeness of the author engraved from a painting by Newton, which accompanies the first whim, a beautifill' medallion portrait to preface the seventh and last volume. Of the present edition more than a hundred and sixty thousand parts have been issued, being equal to three hundred thousand volumes of the English edition. The publication price affixed to this work is less, in reference to the quality of materials and style of execution, than that of any othei production of the m in Europe or America. The investment and expenditures connected with this undertaking are much greater than usually attend a republication; and it will be apparen t that the publishers must rely on an extensive sale for their re muneration. They appeal with entire confidence to the American public, for a just and liberal support in their endeavours to disseminate the means of an en lightened and rational enjoyment.
