The rarity of the original
edition of Satchell’s is such that the copy now at Abbotsford was the only

these words:—
“Begone, my book, stretch
forth thy wings and fly
Amongst the nobles and gentility;
Thou'rt not to sell to scavengers and downs,
But given to worthy persons of renown.
The number's few I've printed, in regard
My charges have been great, and I hope reward ;
I caus'd not print many above twelve score.
And the printers are engaged that they shall print no more.”
—Lockhart's ‘ Life of Sir
Walter Scott.’
