    Description

    First Edition, Leather Binding

    The first edition. 

    Half-title is present.

    Bound without adverts.

    A poetical play by Sir Walter Scott, dramatising Scottish history in Scott's typical style.

    Scott penned this play over the course of two rainy mornings, originally for a volume of poetical miscellany which was being compiled by Joanna Baillie. However Scott wrote so fervently that the play outgrew the original volume and had to be published separately.

    Title page is not watermarked.
