A propos de cet article

This is a two-volume copy of St. Ronan's Well, by the great Scottish novelist Sir Walter Scott (1770-1832). It is the 18th of his Waverley novels which, for nearly a century, were the most-read novels in Europe. Saint Ronan's Well was published in 1824. It is set in a fashionable spa in the Scottish Borders and is the only Scott novel with a 19th-century setting. The story concerns the rivalry of two men: Valentine Bulmer, the Earl of Etherington, and his half-brother Francis Tyrrel. Both wish to marry Miss Clara Mowbray, who is the sister of John, the laird of Saint Ronan's. These books are part of an incomplete set I have, which is also listed here. Between 1892 and 1894, the Boston publisher Estes and Lauriat published the collected Waverley novels. The introductions of each were written by the Scottish poet and critic Andrew Lang (1844-1912). In 48 volumes, they published a leather set, a marbled-cover set and a plain set. I have volumes of the plain set. By 'plain', I mean attractive navy blue boards with ivory title plates on the spine. The publisher has stated 'Large Paper'; the paper is thick and of best quality. There were 1000 copies of this set printed. This is set #679. That is stamped on each book in red. There is red type on the title page and on the tissue paper fronting each illustration. Each book has six black and white illustrations. The illustrations in these two books are covered with tissue paper. The illustrations are stated as original etchings and/or etching from paintings, by William Henry Boucher (English, 1837-1906), Sir George Reid (Scottish, 1841-1913), Sir David Young Cameron (Scottish, 1865-1945), Amédée Forestier (French, 1854-1930), Robert Walker Macbeth (Scottish, 1848-1910), William Brassey Hole (Scottish, 1846–1917), Gaston Albert Manchon (French, 1855-1951), G. Rodriguez (unknown), Alfred Boilot (French), William Wright-Nooth (English). In both cases, the title panels are faded and scratched. Both volumes have clearly never been opened. They have some scuffing on the back cover and a small fade mark on the front. Both books have fully-intact gold trim; only the tops of the pages were originally trimmed. In the case of both books, the interiors are perfect. No foxing.…
