SCOTT'S WAVERLEY NOVELS IN 48 VOLUMES
Edinburgh and London: Cadell & Company, Simpkin and Marshall, 1829.
48 vols., 12mo (6.75 x 4.25 inches). Full calf with
twin olive and red labels. Gilt raised bands, pretty
floral gilt tooling to panels. Red speckled edges. Fine
engraved frontispiece and title-page on each volume.
Prelims a little foxed. Slight loss of the surface of
the leather on three volumes. This is still one of the
loveliest sets of Scott we've ever seen.
A superb set of Scott's hugely influential Waverley
novels, in which he is considered to have perfected the
format of the historical novel. "At one blow Scott had
established a new literary form; and the basic
principles on which Waverley and all his subsequent
novels were constructed have been disregarded only at
the peril of artistic failure." (PMM)
