ADVERTISEMENT.



It was the Author's intention, that this Work should have been concluded, as it commenced, in the fictitious character. But a circumstance, to which more importance has been attached than it deserved, induced his respectable publishers to request, that some guarantee should appear upon the Title-page, in order to satisfy the Public that these Volumes were written by

The Author of Waverley.
