the general neglect of this part of his work by considering how large a
place his poems and novels give him in the history of our literature. If
he deserves a still larger place, we may remember with satisfaction that
as a man he was great enough to support honorably any distinction won by
his mind.

APPENDIX I.

BIBLIOGRAPHY

The bibliography of Scott's writings is given in three parts, as
follows:

1. Books which Scott wrote or edited, or to which he was an important
contributor. The list is chronological.

2. Contributions to periodicals.

3. Books which contain letters written by Scott. These titles are
arranged approximately in the order of their importance from the
point of view of a study of Scott.

1. _Books which Scott wrote or edited, or to which he was an important
contributor_.

(In the following list the first editions of the poems and novels
are noted without bibliographical details. In the case of other
works the main facts in regard to publication are given; and an
attempt is made to indicate the nature of the books named, unless
they have been discussed in the text.)

1796
The Chase and William and Helen. (Translated from Buerger.)

1799
Goetz of Berlichingen. (Translated from Goethe.)

Apology for Tales of Terror.

Twelve copies were privately printed, to exhibit the work of the
Ballantyne press at Kelso. The title was occasioned by the delay
in the publication of Matthew Lewis's Tales of Terror, and the
little book contains poems which Scott had contributed to that
work. (The contents are named in the Catalogue of the Centenary
Exhibition.)

1800
The Eve of St. John, a Border ballad.

1802-3
Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border; consisting of historical and
romantic ballads, collected in the southern counties of Scotland; with
a few of modern date founded upon local tradition.

3 vols. Vols. I and 2, Kelso, 1802; vol. 3, Edinburgh, 1803.
Second edition, 1803. The book was republished frequently before
1830, when it was included in the collected edition of Scott's
poems. It has also been reprinted independently since then several
times. The latest and most complete edition is that published in
1902, edited by T.F. Henderson. Other books in which part of
Scott's ballad material was used in such a way as to give his name
a place on the title-page are named below:
