The Poetical Works Of Sir Walter Scott Bart Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Illustrations; Landscape, Historical, and Antiquarian, to the Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott, Bart IN completion of the design originally contemplated, the following series of illustrations to the Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott have been produced. It has been deemed advisable to depart in a slight degree from the plan pursued in the illustration of the Novels. In the present series have been introduced a few plates intended to convey some idea of the armour, furniture, and embellishments of the olden time -and the attempt has been received with favour; indeed, such a result might have been fairly anticipated, now that so much attention is deservedly bestowed on the manners, customs, and edifices of our forefathers; and it would be doing injustice to a rising and meritorious artist, Mr. Nixon, not to acknowledge that he has displayed great taste and judgment in the execution of this portion of the Work.
