THE WAVERLY NOVELS.
The editor of the Gazette, printed at York, [Upper Canada.] in speaking of these works, observes, "The fact of Sir Walter Scott being the author of the Waverly Novels gains a more general admission every day. For ourselves, we had "confirmation strong as proof from Holy Writ," more than ten years since, which should have been laid before the public long ago, but for the delicacy of the circumstances attending the proofs, and the charge of egotism that might be brought against ourselves; but that Sir Walter Scott is the author of the Waverly Novels we have evidence nothing short of ocular demonstration!"
