Scott's Ivanhoe: Edited and Annotated for the Use of Schools, With an Outline for Study
Excerpt from Scott's Ivanhoe
The book, therefore, appeared as an avowed continuation of the Waverley Novels and it would be ungrateful not to acknowledge, that it met with the same favourable reception as its predecessors. Such annotations as may be useful to assist the reader in com prehending the characters of the Jew, the Templar, the Captain of the mercenaries, or Free Companions, as they were called, and others proper to the period, are added, but with a sparing hand, since sufficient information on these subjects is to be found in general history.
