SOLD AS SHOWN AS IS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED IF REQUESTED Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet FRSE FSAScot (15 August 1771 – 21 September 1832), was a Scottish historian, novelist, poet, and playwright. Many of his works remain classics of European and Scottish literature, notably the novels Ivanhoe (1819), Rob Roy (1817), Waverley (1814), Old Mortality (1816), The Heart of Mid-Lothian (1818), and The Bride of Lammermoor (1819), along with the narrative poems Marmion (1808) and The Lady of the Lake (1810). He had a major impact on European and American literature. As an advocate, judge, and legal administrator by profession, he combined writing and editing with his daily work as Clerk of Session and Sheriff-Depute of Selkirkshire. He was prominent in Edinburgh's Tory establishment, active in the Highland Society, long time a president of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (1820–1832), and a vice president of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland (1827–1829).[1] His knowledge of history and literary facility equipped him to establish the historical novel genre as an exemplar of European Romanticism. He became a baronet of Abbotsford in the County of Roxburgh, Scotland, on 22 April 1820; the title became extinct upon his son's death in 1847.The following is a chronological list of the entire series:•1814: Waverley•1815: Guy Mannering•1816: The Antiquary•1816: The Black Dwarf and Old Mortality or The Tale of Old Mortality – the 1st instalment from the subset series, Tales of My Landlord•1817: Rob Roy•1818: The Heart of Mid-Lothian – the 2nd instalment from the subset series, Tales of My Landlord•1819: The Bride of Lammermoor and A Legend of Montrose or A Legend of the Wars of Montrose – the 3rd instalment from the subset series, Tales of My Landlord•1819 (dated 1820): Ivanhoe•1820: The Monastery•1820: The Abbot•1821: Kenilworth•1822: The Pirate•1822: The Fortunes of Nigel•1822: Peveril of the Peak•1823: Quentin Durward•1824: St. Ronan's Well or Saint Ronan's Well•1824: Redgauntlet•1825: The Betrothed and The Talisman – a subset series, Tales of the Crusaders•1826: Woodstock•1827: Chronicles of the Canongate — containing two short stories ("The Highland Widow" and "The Two Drovers") and a novel (The Surgeon's Daughter)•1828: The Fair Maid of Perth – the 2nd instalment from the subset series, Chronicles of the Canongate•1829: Anne of Geierstein•1832: Count Robert of Paris and Castle Dangerous – the 4th instalment from the subset series, Tales of My Landlord ILLUSTRATORSSubject or Title Original Drawing Etching The Antiquary and Lovel—Kinpurnes J.

He was shrewd and prudent, Wisdom and cunning had their shares of him; But he was shrewish as a wayward child, And pleased again by toys which childhood please; As—-book of fables, graced with print of wood, Or else the jingling of a rusty medal, Or the rare melody of some old ditty, That first was sung to please King Pepin’s cradle
