NOTICE BY THE PUBLISHERS.

There are few circumstances in the history of letters
more remarkable than the rise and progress of the Waver_
ley Novels. Unlike most other productions of genius,
they bad no infancy to struggle with, but reached at once
the highest point of public favour,—a station which they
have ever since maintained with undiminished popularity.
The circulation of these works having been hitherto con-
fined, in a great degree, to the wealthier ranks of society,
the Proprietors have resolved to place them within the
reach of readers of all classes, by republishing them in a
less costly, but at the same time more elegant shape, and
with the additional advantage of a periodical issue.

The Publishers have therefore the honour of announcing
the speedy commencement of a New Edition, to be pub-
lished in Monthly Volumes.

In this undertaking they have had the cheerful eo-ope-
ration of the Author himself, who has not only revised
every one of the Novels, but has added Explanatory Notes,
and a new Introduction to each of them.

This Edition will not only be improved in the manner
just stated, but also enriched by the pencils of the eminent
Artists who have been engaged to embellish it; among
these may be named David Wilkie, R.A. ; Edwin Land-
seer, R.A. ; C. R. Leslie, R.A. ; Abraham Cooper,
R.A. ; A. E. Chalon, R.A. ; G. S. Newton, A.R.A. ;
F. P. Stephanoff, H. Corbould, William Kidd, J. Stan-
field, John Burnet, and R. I'. Bonnington.
The Engravings will be executed on steel, by Charles
Heath, William Finden, Charles Rolls, James Mitchell,
F. Engleheart, Ambrose Warren, Robert Graves, J. C.
Edwards, W. J. Cooke, W. Ensom, Davenport, Shenton,
Duncan, Miller, and other eminent Engravers.
