Chapter XI: Appendix: I

BIBLIOGRAPHY

The bibliography of Scott's writings is given in three parts, as follows:

1. Books which Scott wrote or edited, or to which he was an important
contributor. The list is chronological.

2. Contributions to periodicals.

3. Books which contain letters written by Scott. These titles are
arranged approximately in the order of their importance from the
point of view of a study of Scott.

1. _Books which Scott wrote or edited, or to which he was an important contributor_.

(In the following list the first editions of the poems and novels are noted without bibliographical details. In the case of other works the main facts in regard to publication are given; and an attempt is made to indicate the nature of the books named, unless they have been discussed in the text.)

1796
The Chase and William and Helen. (Translated from Bürger.)

1799
Goetz of Berlichingen. (Translated from Goethe.)

Apology for Tales of Terror.

Twelve copies were privately printed, to exhibit the work of the
Ballantyne press at Kelso. The title was occasioned by the delay
in the publication of Matthew Lewis's Tales of Terror, and the
little book contains poems which Scott had contributed to that
work. (The contents are named in the Catalogue of the Centenary
Exhibition.)

1800
The Eve of St. John, a Border ballad.

1802-3
Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border; consisting of historical and
romantic ballads, collected in the southern counties of Scotland; with
a few of modern date founded upon local tradition.

3 vols. Vols. I and 2, Kelso, 1802; vol. 3, Edinburgh, 1803.
Second edition, 1803. The book was republished frequently before
1830, when it was included in the collected edition of Scott's
poems. It has also been reprinted independently since then several
times. The latest and most complete edition is that published in
1902, edited by T.F. Henderson. Other books in which part of
Scott's ballad material was used in such a way as to give his name
a place on the title-page are named below:

Kinmont Willie: a Border ballad, with an historical introduction,
by Sir Walter Scott. (Carlisle Tracts No. 6) Carlisle, 1841.

A Ballad Book by C.K. Sharpe. MDCCCXXIII. Reprinted with notes and
ballads from the unpublished manuscripts of C.K. Sharpe and Sir
Walter Scott ... edited by ... D. Laing. Edinburgh, 1880.

1804
Sir Tristrem: a metrical romance of the thirteenth century, by Thomas
of Ercildoune, called the Rhymer. Edited from the Auchinleck
manuscript by Walter Scott. Edinburgh.

Only 12 copies of Sir Tristrem were printed in the form in which
Scott had intended to publish it, without the expurgation which
his friends insisted upon. (_Letters to R. Polwhele_, etc., p. 18;
_Lockhart_, I. 361). The following book contains a part of the
same material:

A Penni worth of Witte, Florice and Blancheflour, and other pieces
of ancient English poetry, selected from the Auchinleck
manuscript. (With an account of the Auchinleck manuscript by Sir
Walter Scott) Edinburgh, 1857. Printed for the Abbotsford Club.

1805
The Lay of the Last Minstrel.

1806
Original Memoirs written during the great civil war; being the life of
Sir H. Slingsby, and memoirs of Capt. Hodgson. With notes, etc.
Edinburgh. [Edited by Scott anonymously.]

Ballads and Lyrical Pieces. [Poems which had already appeared in
various collections.]

1808
Marmion.

Memoirs of Captain Carleton, ... including anecdotes of the war in
Spain under the Earl of Peterborough, ... written by himself.
Edinburgh. (8vo, but 25 copies were printed on large paper.) [Edited
by Scott anonymously.]

Scott was probably mistaken in considering this to be a genuine
autobiography. (See Col. Parnell's argument in _The English
Historical Review_, vi:97.) It has been attributed to Defoe, and
Col. Parnell attributes it to Swift, but the question of its
authorship is still unsolved. The book was first published in
1728, but Scott used the edition of 1743, which he was so
inaccurate as to take for the original edition; and as at that
date Defoe had long been dead and Swift had lost his mind, the
possibility of attributing it to either of them naturally would
not occur to him. Scott wrote scarcely any notes, but his short
introduction contains some interesting general reflections which
are quoted by Lockhart.

The Works of John Dryden, now first collected; illustrated with notes,
historical, critical and explanatory, and a life of the author, by
Walter Scott, Esq. 18 vols. London.

Second edition, 18 vols., Edinburgh, 1821.

Another edition, revised and corrected by George Saintsbury,
Edinburgh, 1882-1893.

The Life of John Dryden (4to, only 50 copies printed).

Memoirs of John Dryden, Paris, 1826.

Memoirs of Robert Carey, Earl of Monmouth, written by himself, and
Fragmenta Regalia, being a history of Queen Elizabeth's favourites, by
Sir Robert Naunton. With explanatory annotations. Edinburgh. [Edited
by Scott anonymously.]

Scott contributed no introductions, but his notes are copious,
especially with regard to the history of the Border. This is one
of the books of which Scott is reported to have said to his
publisher, Mr. Constable, "Did I not do Hodgson, Carey, Carleton,
etc., to serve you; and did I ever ask or receive any
remuneration?" (_Ballantyne's Refutation_, etc., p. 76.)

Queenhoo-Hall, a romance; and Ancient Times, a drama. By the late
Joseph Strutt, author of Rural Sports and Pastimes of the People of
England. [Edited by Scott, who wrote a conclusion for Queenhoo-Hall.
This conclusion is given in an appendix to the introduction of
Waverley.] Edinburgh.

1809
The State Papers and Letters of Sir Ralph Sadler ... edited by Arthur
Clifford ... to which is added a memoir of the life of Sir Ralph
Sadler, with historical notes, by Walter Scott, Esq. 2 vols.
Edinburgh. (Also the same work in 3 vols., with same date.)

The biography is included in all the editions of Scott's Prose
Works.

The Life of Edward Lord Herbert of Cherbury, written by himself. With
a prefatory memoir. Edinburgh; printed by James Ballantyne & Co. for
John Ballantyne & Co. and John Murray. (A reprint of Walpole's
edition, with the prefatory memoir added.)

It is a question whether Scott edited this book, but it has been
ascribed to him, and is given under his name without hesitation in
the British Museum catalogue. The prefatory memoir is short and
largely made up of quotations, but it sounds as if Scott might
have written it. The book is one to which he often refers. Mr.
Sidney Lee, in his edition of the Autobiography, says merely,
"Walpole's edition was reprinted in 1770, 1809, and in 1826."
Reprinted in the Universal Library: Biography, vol. I, London,
1853.

1809-15
A Collection of Scarce and Valuable Tracts on the most interesting and
entertaining subjects: but chiefly such as relate to the history and
constitution of these kingdoms. Selected from an infinite number in
print and manuscript, in the Royal, Cotton, Sion, and other public, as
well as private, libraries; particularly that of the late Lord Somers.
The second edition, revised, augmented, and arranged by Walter Scott,
Esq. 13 vols. London.

There are some additions. Scott says in the Advertisement: "The
Memoirs of the Wars in the Low Countries by the gallant Williams,
and the very singular account of Ireland by Derrick, are the most
curious of those now published for the first time.... The
introductory remarks and notes have been added by the present
Editor, at the expense of some time and labour. It is needless to
observe, that both have been expended upon a humble and
unambitious, though not, it is hoped, an useless task. The object
of the introductions was to present such a short and summary view
of the circumstances under which the Historical and Controversial
Tracts were respectively written, as to prevent the necessity of
referring to other works. Such therefore, as refer to events of
universal notoriety are but slightly and generally mentioned; such
as concern less remarkable points of history are more fully
explained. The Notes are in general illustrative of obscure
passages, or brief notices of authorities, whether corroborative
or contradictory of the text." The following book contains a part
of the same material:

The Image of Irelande with a Discoverie of Woodkarne. By John
Derricke, 1581. With Notes by Sir Walter Scott. Edited by John
Small. Edinburgh, 1883. (See _Somers' Tracts_, Vol. I.)

1810
English Minstrelsy. Being a selection of fugitive poetry from the best
English authors, with some original pieces hitherto unpublished. 2
vols. Edinburgh.

The Centenary Catalogue says that Scott and his friend William
Erskine edited this book together. In the Advertisement the
publishers (John Ballantyne & Co.) say: "To one eminent
individual, whose name they do not venture to particularize, they
are indebted for most valuable assistance in selection,
arrangement, and contribution; and to that individual they take
this opportunity to present the humble tribute of their thanks,
for a series of kindnesses, of which that now acknowledged is
among the least." There is no critical apparatus. The book
contains original poems by Scott, Southey, Rogers, Joanna Baillie,
and others not so well known.

The Lady of the Lake.

Memoirs of the Duke of Sully. Translated from the French [by Charlotte
Lennox] ... a new edition ... corrected, with additional notes, some
letters of Henry the Great, and a brief historical introduction
embellished with portraits. 5 vols. London.

Another edition, 4 vols. London 1858, has these words on the
title-page: "A new edition, revised and corrected; with additional
notes, and an historical introduction, attributed to Sir Walter
Scott." I have found no external evidence that Scott was the
editor. The introduction sounds as if Scott wrote it, but that so
much work could have been done by him without occasioning any
record seems unlikely. There is a historical introduction of 35
pp., and copious notes. The book is one with which Scott was
familiar. See Memoirs of Robert Carey, pp. 34 and 41.

The Poetical Works of Anna Seward, with extracts from her literary
correspondence. Edited by Walter Scott, Esq. 3 vols. Edinburgh.

The biographical preface is given in the Miscellaneous Prose
Works. The notes are by Miss Seward.

Ancient British Drama, in three volumes. London. (Printed for William
Miller, by James Ballantyne & Co., Edinburgh.)

I find no evidence that Scott was the editor of this book, but it
is sometimes ascribed to him in library catalogues. It contains
merely a two-page introduction and brief notes, and a collection
of plays. (See above, p. 52, note.)

1811
The Modern British Drama, in five volumes. London. (Printed for
William Miller, by James Ballantyne & Co., Edinburgh.)

Vols. I and II, Tragedies, with introduction in vol. I.

Vols. III and IV, Comedies, with introduction in vol. III.

Vol. V, Operas and Farces, with introduction.

These volumes apparently belong to the same collection as the
Ancient British Drama, noted above, and the external evidence for
Scott's authorship is the same. But the introductions are fuller,
and they sound very much like Scott. (See above, p. 52, note.)

The Vision of Don Roderick.

Memoirs of the Court of Charles II, by Count Grammont. With numerous
additions and illustrations. London. [Edited by Scott.]

Reprinted in 1846, 1853, 1864. This last edition, in the Bohn
Library, has about 100 pp. of historical notes.

Secret History of the Court of James the First. With notes and
introductory remarks. 2 vols. Edinburgh. [Edited by Scott
anonymously.]

The book contains 1. Osborne's Traditional Memoirs; 2. Sir Anthony
Welldon's Court and Character of King James; 3. Aulicus
Coquinariae; 4. Sir Edward Peyton's Divine Catastrophe of the
House of Stuarts.

1813
Rokeby.

Memoirs of the Reign of King Charles I., by Sir Philip Warwick.
Edinburgh. [Edited by Scott anonymously.]

The Bridal of Triermain.

1814
Illustrations of Northern Antiquities from the earlier Teutonic and
Scandinavian romances, by Robert Jamieson ... with an abstract of the
Eyrbyggja-Saga; being the early annals of that district of Iceland
lying around the promontory called Sudefells, by Walter Scott.
Edinburgh.

See also Northern Antiquities by P.H. Mallet, London, 1847; and
the edition in Bohn's Library, 1890.

Lockhart says: "Any one who examines the share of the work which
goes under Weber's name will see that Scott had a considerable
hand in that also. The rhymed versions from the _Nibelungen Lied_
came, I can have no doubt, from his pen." (_Lockhart_, II, 320.)

The Works of Jonathan Swift, containing additional letters, tracts,
and poems, not hitherto published; with notes and a life of the
author, by Walter Scott. 19 vols. Edinburgh.

Second edition, revised, Edinburgh, 1824.

Memoirs of Jonathan Swift, Paris, 1826.

The Letting of Humour's Blood in the Head Vaine, etc. By Samuel
Rowlands. Edinburgh. [Edited by Scott. His name is not given, but the
Advertisement is dated at Abbotsford.]

This is an exact reproduction of the 1611 edition, except for the
addition of a few pages containing the Advertisement and the
notes. Another edition was printed in 1815.

Waverley.

1814-17
The Border Antiquities of England and Scotland; comprising specimens
of architecture and sculpture, and other vestiges of former ages,
accompanied by descriptions. Together with illustrations of remarkable
incidents in Border history and tradition, and original poetry. By
Walter Scott, Esq. 2 vols. 4to. London.

Another edition, in 2 vols. folio, London, 1889.

Lockhart says the introduction to this work was written in 1817,
but this is a mistake, for it is in the first volume, which was
published in 1814.

1815
The Lord of the Isles.

Guy Mannering.

The Field of Waterloo.

The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns, and Fairies, by Robert Kirk.

The attribution of this to Scott rests on a letter by George
Ticknor, in Allibone's Dictionary (vol. II, p. 1967) in which he
says: "Kirk's Secret Commonwealth, a curious tract, of about a
hundred quarto pages, on Fairy Superstitions and second sight,
originally published in 1691, and of which, in 1815, Mr. Scott had
caused a hundred copies to be privately printed by the
Ballantynes, with additions, a circumstance, I think, not noted by
Lockhart." Mr. Lang thinks the book was never printed until 1815.
(See his edition, London, 1893). This 1815 edition of 100 copies
was made, he says, from a manuscript copy preserved in the
Advocates' Library, for Longman & Co. He quotes one of Scott's
references to the book, but does not intimate that Scott was the
editor.

Memorie of the Somervilles; being a history of the baronial house of
Somerville, by James, eleventh Lord Somerville. 2 vols. Edinburgh.
[Edited by Scott anonymously.]

The additions by the editor consist of a short preface and
abundant notes.

1816

These letters were anonymous, but Scott was always recognized as
the author of them. They are contained in the Miscellaneous Prose
Works.

R. Jamieson ... and the history of Donald the Hammerer, from an
authentic account of the family of Invernahyle (by Scott: see a note
accompanying the text). 2 vols. London.

Scott's contribution is short. See also Appendix IV, which is
taken "from a manuscript in the possession of the Gartmore Family,
communicated by Walter Scott Esq." Scott's name had become so
valuable that the publishers tried to put it on the title-page of
this book, to his great indignation. (See _Constable_, III, III,
119-20.)

1818-24
The Encyclopædia Britannica: Supplement. [For this work Scott wrote

1821-4
The Novelists' Library. Edited, with prefatory memoirs, by Sir Walter
Scott. 10 vols. London.

Also Lives of the Novelists, 2 vols., Paris, 1825. A recent
edition is that published, with an introduction by Austin Dobson,
by the Oxford University Press (No. 94 in The World's Classics).
When these Lives were issued among the Miscellaneous Prose Works
some of the biographical prefaces were put with them, and also
biographical notices, reprinted from the Edinburgh Weekly Journal,
of Charles Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, John Lord
Somerville, King George III, Lord Byron, and The Duke of York. I
give below the names of certain books in which Scott's biographies
were utilized, but the list is probably far from complete:

An Account of the death and funeral procession of Frederick Duke
of York, etc. To which is subjoined Sir Walter Scott's Character
of His Royal Highness. By John Sykes. Newcastle, 1827.

manuscripts of Sir John Lauder of Fountainhall, bart. 2 vols.
Edinburgh, 1848, printed for the Bannatyne club. Here Scott's
edition is referred to, and his introduction is reprinted. The
book was re-edited because Scott did not use the original
manuscript, but an interpolated transcript, and he had no means
for accurately determining the original text.

Halidon Hill, a dramatic sketch.

Macduff's Cross (in Joanna Baillie's Poetical Miscellanies).

Military Memoirs of the Great Civil War. Being the military memoirs of
John Gwynne; and an account of the Earl of Glencairn's expedition, as

but the introduction is dated at Abbotsford.]

There are some notes, and a short historical introduction.

1826?
Shakspeare [edited by Scott and Lockhart?], volumes II, III, and IV,
without title page and date. Printed by James Ballantyne & Co.

Scott and Lockhart began in 1823 or 1824 to prepare an edition of
Shakspere. In Jan., 1825, Constable wrote to a London bookseller:
"It gives me great pleasure to tell you that the first sheet of
Sir Walter Scott's Shakspeare is now in type ... This I expect
will be a first-rate property." (_Constable's Correspondence_, II,
344.) At the time of Constable's bankruptcy in 1826 there was a
disagreement in regard to the ownership of the property. Scott
wrote to Lockhart, May 30, 1826, "What do you about Shakspeare?
Constable's creditors seem desirous to carry it on. Certainly
their bankruptcy breaks the contract. For me _c'est égal_: I have
nothing to do with the emoluments, and I can with very little
difficulty discharge my part of the matter, which is the
Prolegomena, and Life and Times." (Lang's _Lockhart_, I, 409.) In
1827 the question of carrying on the work was still undecided, and
it was also mentioned in a letter in 1830. (Lang's _Lockhart_ II,
13 and 59). The project was ultimately abandoned, and the fate of
that part of the work which was actually in print is unknown. In
the Barton Collection in the Boston Public Library is preserved
what is perhaps a unique copy of three volumes of the set of ten
that Scott and Lockhart undertook to prepare. But as the books are
bound up without title-pages, and as the commentary contains
nothing that would determine its authorship, the attribution is
probable rather than certain. These volumes include twelve of the
comedies. On the fly-leaf of one of them is a note written by Mr.
Rodd, a London bookseller. He says: "I purchased these three
volumes from a sale at Edinburgh. They were entered in the
catalogue as 'Shakespeare's Works, edited by Sir Walter Scott and
Lockhart, vols. ii, in, iv, all published, _unique_'." It was not
positively known that such a work had been planned until the
publication of Constable's _Correspondence_ in 1874. At that time
Justin Winsor wrote a letter to the _Boston Advertiser_ (March 21,
1874) in which he said: "The account of the Barton collection,
which was printed fifteen years ago, contained the earliest public
mention, I believe, of the supposition that Scott ever engaged in
such a work, which this life of Constable now renders certain.
These later corroborative statements give a peculiar interest to
the volumes which are now in this library and which are perhaps
the only ones of the edition now in existence." The introductions
to the plays are each only a page or two long, and are mainly,
like the notes, compilations. The book corresponds fairly well
with the description given in _Constable_. (See Vol. III, pp. 183,
193, 237-8, 241, 242, 244, 246, 305, 321, 442. See also Lang's
_Lockhart_, I, 308-9, 395-6, and Lang's Introduction to _Peveril
of the Peak_.)

Edinburgh.

Edited by Sir Walter Scott and presented by him to the Roxburghe
club. Some of the same material seems to have been used in the
book named below:

Autobiography of Sir Walter Scott. Philadelphia, 1831. Anderson,
in his bibliography of Scott, gives this as a supposititious work,

simply the piecing together of Scott's introductions to his
novels.

1830

foot. June, A.D. 1754. Edinburgh.

"To the members of the Bannatyne Club, this copy of a trial,
involving a curious point of evidence, is presented, by Walter
Scott." There is an introduction of 11 pages, giving the story of
the crime, and bringing together instances from literature and
history of the evidence of ghosts being cited in trials. That is
the "curious point of evidence" referred to. The proceedings of
the court are then reprinted without annotation.

1832

Surtees--annotated by Scott.

main apartments at Abbotsford is the only part of the Reliquiae
Trottosienses that has been printed. There is a short introduction by
Mary Monica Maxwell Scott.)

The same material was included in the following book: Abbotsford,
the personal relics and antiquarian treasures of Sir Walter Scott,
described by the Hon. Mary Monica Maxwell Scott. London, 1893.

1890

(b) Contributions to the Edinburgh Annual Register

(The dates given are those on the volumes. In most cases the book was issued about a year and a half after the nominal date. Most of Scott's contributions are unsigned. Those which were afterwards included in the collected edition of his poems are in this list marked "Poems"; in other cases (unless the article is signed) a note is made of the reason for attributing it to Scott).

1808 Vol. I, part 2.

The Bard's Incantation. Poems.

To a Lady, with Flowers from a Roman Wall. Poems.

The Violet. Poems.

Hunting Song. Poems.

The Resolve. Poems.

View of the changes proposed and adopted in the administration of
justice in Scotland. (See _Lockhart_, Vol. II, p. 154.)

Living Poets of Great Britain. (From internal evidence I think this
article may have been written by Scott, and am sure that he dictated
many of the opinions it expresses, if he is not responsible for the
whole.)

1809 Vol. II, part 2.

The Vision of Don Roderick. (Reprinted from the first edition.) Poems.

Epitaph designed for a Monument to be erected in Lichfield Cathedral
to the Rev. Thomas Seward. Poems.

Cursory remarks upon the French order of battle, particularly in the
campaigns of Buonaparte. (See _Lockhart_, Vol. II, p. 161.)

Periodical Criticism. (From internal evidence I am sure that this was
written by Scott. The style is decidedly more interesting than that of
the article on the poets, in the volume for the preceding year.)

The Inferno of Altisidora. (This immediately follows the article on
Periodical Criticism, and is a burlesque sketch on the same subject.
It serves to introduce the following imitations, respectively, of
Crabbe, Moore, and Scott himself.)

The Poacher.

"Oh say not, my love, with that mortified air."

The Vision of Triermain.

1810 Vol. III, part 2.

introduction to _The Betrothed_.)

(c) Contributions to other periodicals

Scott contributed frequently to _The Edinburgh Weekly Journal_, edited and published by James Ballantyne. Some of the articles are reprinted in the Miscellaneous Prose Works. Lockhart reprints in the Life Scott's account of the coronation of George IV., and his Reply to General Gourgaud.

Scott also contributed to _The Sale-Room_, a weekly paper edited and published by John Ballantyne from January 4 to July 12, 1817 (28 numbers). (See _Lockhart_, Vol. III, p. 89.)

To _The Keepsake_, an annual, Scott contributed in 1828 The Tapestried Chamber, My Aunt Margaret's Mirror, and The Laird's Jock, and in 1830 The House of Aspen.

In _Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine_, Vol. I, appeared three articles entitled "Notices concerning the Scottish Gypsies," for which Scott furnished a large part of the material. (Numbers for April, May, and September, 1817.) Lockhart says that Scott dictated to Thomas Pringle "a collection of anecdotes concerning Scottish gypsies, which attracted a good deal of notice." The first article refers to "Mr. Walter Scott, a gentleman to whose distinguished assistance and advice we have been on the present occasion very peculiarly indebted, and who has not only furnished us with many interesting particulars himself, but has also obligingly directed us to other sources of curious information." Scott quotes from the first of the three articles in his review of _Tales of My Landlord_, and he afterwards used the same anecdotes in the introduction to _Guy Mannering_.

3. _Books which contain letters written by Scott_.

(As there is no complete collection of Scott's letters it has been thought wise to name the various sources, so far as the letters have appeared at all in print, from which such a collection might be made. The list includes only those books or articles in which letters were published for the first time; yet it is probably far from exhaustive. Notes are given in regard to the number or kind of the letters from Scott to be found in some of the less-known books.)

men were authors and antiquaries, and their letters as given in this
book illustrate their favorite studies.
