The poetical works of Sir Walter Scott, with memoir of the author.

CANTO I.] THE LORD OF THE ISLES. 51
the scenes are such as Mr. Scott's muse generally excels in.
The scene between Edith and her nurse is spirited, and contains many very pleasing lines. The description of Lord

way against the wind, more particularly of the last, is executed with extraordinary beauty and fidelity."- Quarterly
