"The writer, having been often applied to for copies of the annexed narrative, has been induced to reprint it, in aid of a charitable fund. It was originally inserted anonymously in Blackwood's Magazine, soon after the publication of Anne of Geierstein [ca. 1829], the fictitious adventure therein recorded bearing so close a resemblance to one which had really occurred to himself [i.e. E. Stanley, in 1818]. He has, indeed, some reasons for believing that the details might have reached the ears of Sir Walter Scott, and furnished him with the groundwork for the incident, thus related in the following extract from the above named work."--at head of page [iii].
