ADVERTISEMENTS, The General Preface to the new Edition, and the Introductory Notices to each separate work, will contain an account of such Connected with Science, Literature, and the Arts. circumstances attending the first publication of the Novels and NOTICE BY THE PUBLISHERS. Tales, as may appear interesting in themselves, or proper to be communicated to the public. The Author also proposes to publish, on this occasion, the various legends, family traditions, or obscure historical facts, which have formed the ground-work of these Novels, and to give some account of the places where the scenes are laid, when these are altogether, or in part, real; as well as a statement of particular incidents founded on fact; together with a more copious Glossary, and Notes explanatory of the ancient customs, and popular superstitions, referred to in the Romances. Upon the whole, it is hoped that the Waverley Novels, in their new dress, will not be found to have lost any part of their attractions in consequence of receiving illustrations by the Author, and undergoing his careful revision. ABBOTSFORD, January 1829. PLAN OF THE WORK. I. The size to be royal 18mo, printed in the very best manner, and hot-pressed; each volume to contain about 400 pages, price 5s. done up in cloth. II. The publication to commence on 1st June next; and to be continued regularly, on the first day of each month, till the whole is completed. III. Each volume to have a Frontispiece and Vignette titlepage, both containing subjects illustrative of the Novel to which they are attached. There are few circumstances in the history of letters more re-mencing with WAVERLEY, and closing with WOODSTOCK. The markable than the rise and progress of the WAVERLEY NOVELS. Unlike most other productions of genius, they had 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 confined, in a great degree, to the wealthier ranks of society, the Proprie. tors 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 published in MONTHLY VOLUMES. IV. The Work will be completed in FORTY VOLUMES, comAuthor's additions will form about two of these Forty Volumes. *+* The Edition is so far advanced at press, that regularity of publication may be depended on; and, to such subscribers as may wish to have some of the Novels complete on the appearance of the first volume of each respectively, the Publishers have to state, that the whole of WAVERLEY may be had on the first of June, in 2 vols. for 10s. Printed for CADELL & Co. 41, St Andrew Square, Edinburgh; and to be had of every Bookseller throughout the Kingdom. This day is published, In Royal Svo, price 3s. To be continued Monthly, No. I. of the In this undertaking they have had the cheerful co-operation of THE SCOTS LAW CHRONICLE, or JOURthe 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. The nature and extent of these corrections and additions will be best understood by giving entire, from Volume First, The AUTHOR'S ADVERTISEMENT. It has been the occasional occupation of the Author of Waverley, for several years past, to revise and correct the voluminous series of Novels which pass under that name; in order that, if they should ever appear as his avowed productions, he might render them in some degree deserving of a continuance of the public favour with which they have been honoured ever since their first appearance. For a long period, however, it seemed likely that the improved and illustrated edition which he meditated would be a posthumous publication. But the course of events, which occasioned the disclosure of the Author's name, having, in a great measure, restored to him a sort of parental control over these Works, he is naturally induced to give them to the press in a corrected, and, he hopes, an improved form, while life and Such health permit the task of revising and illustrating them. being his purpose, it is necessary to say a few words on the plan of the proposed Edition. In stating it to be revised and corrected, it is not to be inferred that any attempt is made to alter the tenor of the stories, the character of the actors, or the spirit of the dialogue. There is no doubt ample room for emendation in all these points,-but where the tree falls it must lie. Any attempt to obviate criticism, however just, by altering a work already in the hands of the public, is generally unsuccessful. In the most improbable fiction, the reader still desires some air of vraisemblance, and does not relish that the incidents of a tale familiar to him should be altered to suit the taste of critics, or the caprice of the author himself. This process of feeling is so natural, that it may be observed even in children, who cannot endure that a nursery story should be re peated to them differently from the manner in which it was first told. But without altering, in the slightest degree, either the story, or the mode of telling it, the Author has taken this opportunity That such to correct errors of the press and slips of the pen. should exist cannot be wondered at, when it is considered that the Publishers found it their interest to hurry through the press a succession of the early editions of the various Novels, and that the Author had not the usual opportunity of revision. It is hoped that the present edition will be found free from errors of that accidental kind. The Author has also ventured to make some emendations of a different character, which, without being such apparent deviations from the original stories as to disturb the reader's old associations, will, he thinks, add something to the spirit of the dialogue, narrative, or description. These consist in occasional pruning where the language is redundant, compression where the style is loose, infusion of vigour where it is languid, the exchange of less forcible for more appropriate epithets-slight alterations, in short, like the last touches of an artist, which contribute to heighten and finish the picture, though an inexperienced eye can hardly detect in what they consist.

If frequently taken, it will generally obviate the necessity of having recourse to Calomel, Epsom Salts, and other strong and nauseous medicines, which often debilitate the system without producing the desired effects; and when taken after too free an indulgence in the luxuries of the Table, particularly after too much wine, the usual disagreeable effects will be prevented. *** There being numerous inferior imitations of these Powders vended, it is necessary to observe, that the Preparer's name and address," Butler, 73, Prince's Street, Edinburgh," are printed in the Label and Bill accompanying each Box of the genuine Powders.
