Guy Mannering (PocketBook)

The Novel or Romance of Waverley made its way to the public slowly, of course, at first, but afterwards with such accumulating popularity as to encourage the author to a second attempt. He looked about for a name and a subject I and the manner in which the novels were composed cannot be better illustrated than by reciting the simple narrative on which, in the progress of the work, the production ceased to bear any, even the most distant resemblance.
