NOTICE.

SOME alterations in the text of the Introduction to Marmion, and of the Poem itself, as well as various additions to the author's Notes, will be observed in this Edition. We have followed Sir Walter Scott's interleaved copy, as finally revised by him in the summer of 1831.

The Editor's notes, are, as in the preceding volumes of this collection, marked by brackets. The preservation of the original MS. of the Poem has enriched this volume with numerous various readings, which will be found curious and interesting.
