[A re-issue of the 1818 edition which had caused Scott problems due to his n…ame appearing on the title-page and articles in periodicals drawing attention to his reliance on Burt as a source for Waverley and thus possibly linking him to the authorship of the novel. Scott had managed to have his name removed from the title-page of most copies of the 1818 edition, but here it appeared again in the 1822 issue. He vainly attempted to have it removed once again.

"In about 1727 and 1728 Burt wrote a series of letters, later published as Letters from a Gentleman in the North of Scotland to his Friend in London (including a further letter written in around 1737), in which he summarized Wade's road-building achievements (Stevenson, 2004 [entry on Burt, Edward in "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography"]). The Letters contain important early engravings of Highland dress in and around Inverness. Burt realized that the conditions he described would be regarded as highly offensive by Scots, so he swore his unknown correspondent in London to secrecy." - Wikipedia entry on Edward Burt, accessed February 2025.
