The novel is filled with historical detail and vivid descriptions of the Scottish landscape, as well as the customs and traditions of the Highland clans. Scott's writing style is known for its romanticism and his ability to create complex and engaging characters. Waverley V2 is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its rich storytelling and historical significance.Waverley walked forward out of the line to satisfy his curiosity, and soon observed five or six of the troopers who, covered with dust, had galloped in to announce that the enemy were in full march westward along the coast. Passing still a little farther on, he was struck with a groan which issued from a hovel. He approached the spot, and heard a voice, in the provincial English of his native county, which endeavoured, though frequently interrupted by pain, to repeat the Lord's Prayer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
