This work is a definite bibliography of Sir Walter Scott. The first sections of this work detail all of Scott's separate publications through 1832, the year of his death. Later sections list editions of every genre from 1806 to 1833, the final magnum opus in full, and everything from Scott's legal papers to tributes and dedications. Scott was also known for his poetic romances, which exercised a strong influence on Britain's Romantic era.
