Sir Walter Scott, English Minstrelsy. Being a selection of fugitive poetry from the best English authors; with some original pieces hitherto unpublished. 2 Volumes (Edinburgh: John Ballantyne and Co., 1810)

Information about the collection: Authors and titles are listed above the poems; there are no headnotes or footnotes or any other editorial apparatus; astericks in the second volume denote an "original" article; the collection seems to be a good example of a miscellany [volume 1] [volume 2]
