Undergraduate PR SIR WALTER SCOTT born 1771 died 1832 The First Edition of the Lord of the Isles was published in 1815 HE text of the Lord of the Isles adopted in the THE present edition is that given in the tenth volume of the collected edition of Sir Walter Scott's Poetical Works published under the editorship of Lockhart in 1833. The notes relating to historical and antiquarian matters have been chiefly extracted from Scott's notes on the poem. Etymologies are relegated to the Glossary. The plan of the battle of Bannockburn is drawn to illustrate Scott's account of the battle. Somewhat different plans will be found in Sir Herbert Maxwell's Robert the Bruce and in Mr Oman's Art of War in the Middle Ages, which adopts the view combated by Scott that Bruce's front faced south.
