Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott: With the Author's Introductions and Notes
In its preparation the standard text of Lockhart's Editions of 1833 and 1841 has been followed, but not without independent study of the author's meaning. And not without collation with the text as recently edited by careful scholars. The result has been the detection of a few obvious misprints in the longer poems, such as 'torch' for 'touch,' 'rights' for 'rites,' &c.; and the discovery of several this-references, and a good many omissions and mistakes of minor but not unin esting note, in the shorter pieces, more especially in the poetry n the Waverley Novels.
