Waverly embraced the age of our fathers. Guy Mannering that of our youth and Antiquary covers the last ten years of the 18th century. Set in the tense times of revolutionary France, a young man named Lovel who travels idly toward the Scottish seaside town of Fairport. He meets the antiquary Jonathan Oldbuck who hides from reality by studying miscellaneous history. The slow unraveling of Lovel's identity will unearth the secrets and lies which have devastated the Earl of Glenallan. Will these discoveries reinstate the tottering fortunes of Sir Arthur Wardour and his daughter Isabella?

The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works.

Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

Book excerpt: The Antiquary (Volume II): With Introductory Essay And Notes By Andrew Lang (Complete Edition In Two Volumes - Vol. II) This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antiquary, Vol. 2 of 2: A Romance Wiser Raymond, as in his closet pent, Laughs at such danger and adventurement, When half his lands are spent in golden smoke, And now his second hopeful glass is broke; But yet, if haply his third furnace hold, Devoteth all his pots and pans to gold. Old Play. About a week after the adventures commemorated in our last chapter, Mr. Oldbuck, descending to his breakfast-parlour, found that his womankind were not upon duty, his toast not made, and the silver jug, which wont to receive his libations of mum, not duly aired for its reception. "This confounded hot-brained boy," he said to himself, "now that he begins to get out of danger, I can tolerate this life no longer - All goes to sixes and sevens - an universal saturnalia seems to be proclaimed in my peaceful and orderly family. I ask for my sister - no answer - I call, I shout - I invoke my inmates by more names than the Romans gave to their deities - At length, Jenny, whose shrill voice I have heard this half hour lilting in the tartarian regions of the kitchen, condescends to hear me and reply, but without coming up stairs, so the conversation must be continued at the top of my lungs." Here he again began to hollow aloud, "Jenny, where's Miss Oldbuck?" "Miss Grizzy's in the captain's room."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antiquary, Vol. 2: A Magazine Devoted to the Study of the Past; July December Having sketched the history of the Cathedral, and commented on its surroundings, I will proceed to make some general remarks on its architectural features and peculiarities. Commencing at the west end, we find evidence that the facade was plain and severe, judging by the analogy of other buildings of the same date, and from the views of the south side of the nave given by Hollar. Dugdale mentions no western towers as having existed at any time; but Stow minutely describes them. In the later edition of Stow by Strype, however, nothing is said of these towers. It seems curious that a cathedral of the first magnitude should have possessed no western towers, when such a comparatively small building as Lichfield Cathedral has, in all, three towers. Mediaeval churches abroad were rich in towers. There were nine at Clugny, seven intended for Rheims, and seven formerly at Laon, according to Mr. Beresford Hope's "Cathedrals of the Nineteenth Century." At Tournai, in Belgium, also, though but a small cathedral, we see five towers; but in our own land even a building of the scale of that at Salisbury has but one tower and spire, forming the crowning feature of the structure, and this was probably the case at Old St. Paul's. The plan of the westernmost piers of the nave, as shown by Hollar, does not suggest any towers; which consequently, if they existed, must have been outside the aisles, like those to Wells Cathedral. Entering in at the west doors the spectator must have been impressed by the vast length and size of the building, which, notwithstanding Dugdale's authority, I cannot but think was about 596 feet long in the clear (Dugdale says 690 feet) as shown by the scale on Hollar's ground plan. In a work called "London Plates," in the possession of the Society of Antiquaries, the length is described in the margin as 720 feet. Now, the extreme length of Ely Cathedral is 560 feet, and it is the longest on this side of the Alps according to Murray's "Handbook of the Cathedrals." The extreme length of the present St. Paul's, externally, is but 512 feet, and that of St. Peter's, at Rome, 607 feet. Therefore, I think, we may reasonably conclude that Hollar's plan is correct. In simplicity of plan, a plain Latin cross, Old St. Paul's was like Ely or Winchester; it had not the intricate and irregular plan of such a Cathedral as Canterbury. It is interesting for a moment to compare it in this respect to Chichester, or on the Continent to Notre Dame, at Paris, and to Seville Cathedral, all with two aisles on either side, or to Antwerp Cathedral, with three. In span the nave of Old St. Paul's was about the same as Peterborough, 38 feet. The triforium was lighted by circular windows. At Westminster Abbey, spherical triangular shaped windows, as we know, occupy this not very usual position; at Waltham Abbey are circular windows, and at the Abbaye aux Hommes, at Caen, circular windows filled with tracery. It should be observed how wide for Norman windows are those to the aisles of the nave. (Hollar gives a view on a large scale of one of them, retaining its Norman garb). The ancient Consistory Court was probably in the westernmost bay of the north nave aisle. Proceeding down the nave, let us next pause to look at the elegant chantry chapel of Bishop Thomas Kempe, between the piers on north side of nave, near the crossing. Such a position is not unusual for the memorials of great benefactors to a building, so placed that every worshipper could not fail to observe them. At Winchester Cathedral, we have similarly in the nave, the chantries of Bishops William of Wykeham and Edington; and at Wells Cathedral that of Bishop Bubwith.
