Book excerpt: Excerpt from Walladmor, Vol. 1 of 2 Waverley; the Easter fair offering a favourable opportunity for such an at tempt, from the circumstance of there being just then no acknowledged novel in the market from the pen of that writer which was suficiently recent to gratify the wishes of the fair or to throw suspicion upon the pretensions of the hoaxer. These preten sions, it is asserted, for some time passed unquestioned; and the good people of Germany, as we are assured, were univer sally duped. A work, produced to the German public and circulated with success under such assumptions, must naturally ex cite some curiosity in this country; to gratify which it has been judged proper to translate it.
