Note 276c — VIII. LORD ACTON’S LIST OF THE HUNDRED BEST BOOKS
Reading edition
The best edition of Lockhart’s Life of Scott is that published in 10 volumes by Jack of Edinburgh. Readers should beware of abridgments, although one of these was made by Lockhart himself. The whole eighty-five chapters are worth reading, even in the 1 volume edition published by A. & C. Black.
