This article presents information on the books "The Waverley Novels," edited by Andrew Lang. The demand for novels and the production of them during the last century have been enormous, but are now greater than ever. Probably there are few more lucrative trades, especially since the passing of the International Copyright Law, than that of a popular novel writer. The rush into it, accordingly, is great, and, the old love-tale having been pretty well used up, ingenuity is tasked to find new subjects and fresh stimulants. The two latest editions of the novels are a tribute to a supremacy somewhat impaired by the lapse of years, but still incontestable.
