Extract

The last of The Waverley Novels was finished in 1831. If, therefore, anyone be offended by the inaccuracy of my subtitle, I rest my defense upon the precedent set by Sir Walter himself. I cannot claim for this paper that it presents any new facts, but the low esteem in which The Waverley Novels are held a hundred years after their appearance seems to warrant some reflections upon their nature and our tastes.
