Présentation de l'éditeur
The whole of the twenty-one plates which embellish the following pages are meant to illustrate, not only the present volume, but the tales, romances, and poems, of Sir Walter Scott. The introduction of this novelty into the Picturesque A nnual, the proprietor was aware would be attended with great additional expence; but he was encouraged to make the experiment by several considerations. In the first place, he was induced, by the success of the preceding volumes, to rely upon the support of the public; and, in the next place, he was convinced, from the considerable circulation of other works of a similar kind, that the field of competition is wider and more open than has hitherto been suspected. But, above all, he imagined, from the peculiar nature of his present undertaking, that it could not fail to be acceptable to the lovers, both of literature and art.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
