This new edition restores the action of the novel to 1703, before the Union of Scotland and England in 1707, rather than after it, which is where Scott's revisions of 1830 placed it. Critical apparatus includes an account of the textual history of the novel, explanatory notes, a list of verbal changes from the first-edition text, and a glossary. Annotation c.
