THE EDINBURGH LITERARY GAZETTE.
To be published every Saturday morning.

THE purpose and value of a JOURNAL con

ducted on the excellent plan of the London Literary Gazette, containing critical notices of New Works, and forming a Compend of General Literature, are so universally understood as to render exposition superfluous. For a Periodical of this description Edinburgh affords peculiar facilities. As the seat of a flourishing University, and of one of the great European Libraries, it has long held an eminent rank in the republic of Letters; and with reference to the trade of literature, it is the second publishing market in the British Empire. It is the residence, or at least the occasional resort, of all the nobility, learning, and wealth of the country, and it forms the common centre of attraction for connoisseurs, artists, and men of science-the national mart where alone their genius and their works can be adequately appreciated and rewarded. With all these advantages, it must be considered rather extraordinary, that in a city so distinguished, no work of the kind now projected should have hitherto existed. At this moment it is the subject both of surprise and reproach, that Edinburgh possesses nothing in the shape of an exclusively Literary Paper at all corresponding with her resources, or worthy of her literary fame. A Register or Journal of Criticism, unmixed with politics, combining an ample review of the current Literature of the country, with an account of the progress and improvements in Science and the Arts, must be regarded as a desideratum which the Scottish press has yet to supply.

Anxious to avail themselves of these local advantages, and to furnish the British public with a work that shall unite the copi

neither exertion nor expense shall be spared. As for the nature and arrangement of the contents, a very few words will suffice. It were easy to frame a specious and imposing Prospectus, which too frequently amounts to nothing more than an abstract theory of good intentions-a mere anticipation of ideal excellence, rather than a true index of the intended performance. Avoiding all such ostentatious display, the conductors of the EDINBURGH LITERARY GAZETTE will make no promises on their part, and excite no expectations in the public, which they are not amply prepared to realize. The following they submit as an outline of its general features, and of what its several departments are to comprehend:

1. Original Essays and Discussions on Literary or Scientific Sub-
jects: Sketches of Men and Manners; Biographies of the late
and living Poets of Great Britain; of eminent Characters and
Individuals remarkable in History. Each number will com-
mence with an original article of this description.

II. Reviews of New Publications, especially such as issue from
the Scottish Press. In this department, means and opportuni-
ties are provided for supplying the reader with early, accurate,
and interesting intelligence. By a regular correspondence open-
ed with London, Notices and Reviews of important Works will
be obtained, frequently before the Books themselves can reach
Scotland. The opinions of the Edinburgh Literary Gazette
shall be pronounced in all cases with freedom and impartiality;
founded exclusively on the merits of the author, apart from any
of those influential or mercenary considerations which occa
sionally bias and degrade the spirit of periodical criticism.
III. Miscellaneous Selections, containing Extracts from Books of
Voyages and Travels, Scientific Journals, Scarce, Old, and Cu-
rious Works, &c. As much of what is valuable or entertaining
in expensive publications, as well as in the fugitive and perish-
able Literature of the day, cannot possibly come within the reach
of ordinary readers, the Edinburgh Literary Gazette will devote
a portion of each Number to a judicious selection of the best
passages to be found among those miscellaneous stores which
It will thus serve
the press is pouring out in such abundance.

as a repository for treasuring up many little gems of know-
ledge, which otherwise must have been buried in the general
mass; and it will have the merit of performing an equal be-
nefit to the author and to the reader,-to the author, whose
talents are reprieved from comparative oblivion; and to the
reader, who will purchase his amusement at a disproportionate
price of time and labour. Under this head will also be included
Anecdotes and Fragments from Foreign Publications, with
Translations from modern French, Italian, German, and Da-
nish Writers, &c.

IV. Original Communications in Prose and Verse, comprising
Tales and Sketches; the proceedings of Literary and Philoso-
phical Societies; brief notices of Inventions and Improvements
in Arts and Science; curious Facts in Natural History, Statis-
tics, Mechanics, or whatever else may be found useful, instruc-
tive, or entertaining, in the circle of popular knowledge.
V. Fine Arts; or Notices of Exhibitions of Paintings, Engra-
vings, Statuary, &c. with Criticisms on the respective merits of
Artists and their works.-The Drama, both in Edinburgh and
London; Remarks on eminent Actors, and New Theatrical
Pieces, &c. will be found duly recorded in the columns of the
GAZETTE. A regular summary will also be given of Literary
Novelties, both at home and abroad: Works in the Press,
New Publications, &c. The two concluding pages will be al-
lotted to Advertisements, restricted exclusively to Literary and
Scientific subjects.

Having thus stated what is the purport and internal arrangement of the EDINBURGH LITERARY GAZETTE, the Projectors have only farther to add, that the most ample and efficient assistance has been secured. Each department will have its own appropriate Contributors, on whose judgment and abilities the public may rely with confidence. Without affecting any boastful pretensions of ways and means, or making an empty parade of names, they may be permitted to state, that in their list of auxiliaries will be found names which already have done honour to Modern Literature; and when writers such as The Author of THE CONFESSIONS OF AN OPIUM EATER,-DELTA of Blackwood's Magazine, -and Mr CRICHTON, the Translator of Koch's Revolutions of Europe, are mentioned, it will be some guarantee of what the public have to expect. Finally, though the PROJECTORS may not perhaps be able at once to develope their plan fully, and in all its parts, they feel assured that any primary obstacles will speedily be overcome. They will be content to peril the character and success of the whole undertaking on the first six Numbers of the work.

The EDINBURGH LITERARY GAZETTE will be printed on a sheet equal in size to the largest Literary Paper in Britain, and will be published, at No. 10, Prince's Street, the premises occupied by the late Mr Constable,) where Subscriptions and Advertisements will be received. A list of Agents will be given in a future Advertisement. In the meantime, orders, &c. will be received and transmitted by all respectable Newsmen and Booksellers throughout the United Kingdom.

Price of each Number 8d. unstamped; or 1s. stamped, sent free by Post.

Edinburgh, No. 10, Prince's Street,
March 2, 1829.

NOTICE BY THE PUBLISHERS.

There are few circumstances in the history of letters more reremarkable 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 Proprietors 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.

In this undertaking they have had the cheerful co-operation of the 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 appcar 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 health permit the task of revising and illustrating them. Such 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 to correct errors of the press and slips of the pen. That such 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.

The General Preface to the new Edition, and the Introductory Notices to each separate work, will contain an account of such circumstances attending the first publication of the Novels and 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.
