THE LADY OP THE LAKE. By Sir WALTER 



SCOTT. With numerous fine Illustrations. 



" The Lady of the Lake " has been chosen as a subject for illustration, not only for 

 its picturesque features, which invite in an unusual degree the sympathetic treatment 

 of the artist, but also for the romantic personal interest which the story inspires, and 

 which gives it a close hold on the affections of all readers. So thorough is the veri- 

 similitude of the poem, and so accurate are its descriptions of scenery, that the 

 events which it describes are_ accepted as absolute history in the region where the, 

 scene is laid ; and no true Highlander looks with tolerance on anyone nhc ventures 

 to doubt their actual occurrence. It has happened, therefore, that the romantic poem 

 in which the genius of Scott has united and harmonised the legends of Loch Katrine 

 and the Trosachs has become the best Handbook to the Scottish Lake-region. It is 

 believed that the present Illustrated Edition will be a welcome souvenir to thousands 

 of travellers who have visited that beautiful region. 



In order to xcure accuracy as well as freshness of treatment, the Publishers com- 

 missioned Mr. A. V. S. ANTHONY, under whose supervision this Edition has been 

 executed, to visit the Scottish Highlands and make sketches on the spot. Nearly 

 every scene of the poem was personally visited and sketched by him, and these 

 Sketches have afforded the basis of the landscapes offered in this book. These land- 

 scapes, for obvious reasons, depict the Scenery as it ts at the present time ; while the 

 Costumes, Weapons, and other accessories of the figure-pieces are of the period of the 

 'action of the poem, being carefully studied from contemporary pictures and descrip- 

 tions, or from later authoritative works.
