Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:N. M. Price - Sir Walter Scott - Guy Mannering - At the Kaim of Derncleugh.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on November 24, 2010. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2010-11-24. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 19:38, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Scene from Guy Mannering
A scene from Chapter XXVII of Guy Mannering, a historical novel by Sir Walter Scott that was originally published anonymously in 1815. It is set in the 1760s to 1780s, mostly in the Galloway area of southwest Scotland. The eponymous character of Guy Mannering is actually only a minor character in the story, the plot being mostly concerned with Harry Bertram, the son of the Laird of Ellangowan, who is kidnapped at the age of five by smugglers. It follows the fortunes and adventures of Harry and his family in subsequent years, and the struggle over the inheritance of Ellangowan. The novel also depicts the lawlessness that existed at the time, when smugglers operated along the coast and thieves frequented the country roads. The book was a huge success, selling out the day after its first edition.Artist: Norman Mills Price; Restoration: Adam Cuerden

Infobox mystery at number of pages

[edit]

This text is on the right side at Pages in the infobox: 3 vol.; [4], 341, [1]; [4], 346, [2]; [4], 358, [2]. I understand 3 volumes, but not the numbers in square brackets. If the page numbers of the three volumes are 341, 346, 358, then why not either write Vol I 341, Vol II 346, Vol III 358, or alternately, sum the pages and give a total of 1,045? The numbers in brackets are rather confusing, not being references to sources for the page numbers of the 1815 edition, or something else I cannot imagine. --Prairieplant (talk) 06:53, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
