Find Out What Scott Really WroteGoing back to the original manuscripts, a team of scholars has uncovered what Scott originally wrote and intended his public to read before errors, misreadings and expurgations crept in during production.The Edinburgh Edition offers you:A clean, corrected textTextual historiesExplanatory notesVerbal changes from the first-edition textFull glossariesTitle DescriptionScott wrote short stories throughout his career, some included within novels, others published separately in periodicals. This collection of the stories from periodicals extends from his earliest published fiction to his last and comprises pieces from The Edinburgh Annual Register (1811), The Sale-Room (1817), Blackwood''s Edinburgh Magazine (1817-1818) and The Keepsake (1828-1831). Only three of these stories have been regularly reprinted; the other five are here made readily available for the first time. Publication in periodicals offered Scott new opportunities to explore the potential of the short story form and to demonstrate his enormous versatility as a writer of fiction.

This book is a brief guide to the correct use of grammar in legal writing, and a primer in the use of precise grammatical and syntactical analysis in legal interpretation. It is written in the context of judicial comment and analysis from a wide range of common law jurisdictions. While it is true there is no such thing as ''legal grammar'', concise, correct and unambiguous writing is more important in the legal profession than any other. The ability to analyse and discuss language with precision, when guided by the broader principles of statutory interpretation, remains an important legal skill. This book aims to provide a first port of call for those seeking to acquire or upgrade knowledge in this area. Grammar for Lawyers offers an extended grammar lesson of a new kind, firmly located in the context of local and recent judicial writing.
