Sir Walter Scott – Collected Editions
This Group of Pages provides documentation for the Collected Editions of the Works of Sir Walter Scott.
The aim is to provide a list of the volumes for each edition and any special features and where appropriate, points to look out for when considering purchasing a set.

Sir,
I have a 20 vol set of Sir Walter Scott, Edition De luxe.
(This) edition of the works of (Scott), Bart., (was) printed for subscribers only, is limited to one thousand numbered sets, of which (mine) is….No.349.
I am aging now and in failing health and would be interested in finding an appropriate home for this, part of my collection of special authors for many years.
Could you kindly suggest an appropriate solution.
Thank you,
Daniel Scheall

I have 4 novels of Sir Walter Scott’s
Beautifully bound in a hard cover format embossed with a gilded gold coloured decoration
They are from the ‘Heron Books Collection” and have an inscription that states in type;
To the Kings Most Gracious Majesty
Site,
The Author of this Collection of Works of Fiction would not have presumed to solicit for them your Majesty’s August patronage, were it not that the perusal has been supposed in some instances to have succeeded in amusing hours of relaxation, or relieving those of languor, pain, or anxiety, and therefore must have so far aided the warmest wish of your Majesty’s heart, by contributing in however small a degree to the happiness of your people.
They are therefor humbly dedicated to your Majesty, agreeably to your gracious permission, by
Your Majesty’s Dutiful Subject
