[Extract FRoM THE Loxpon Times.) Mt 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 under- taken the task. The illustrations by various competent hands are beautiful in themselves and beautt- Sully executed, and, altogether, this edition of the Waverley Novels bids fair to become the classical edition of the great Scottish classte.
