J'ai t souvent compliment sur la force de ma m moire, et souvent j'ai eu dans la vie l'occasion de faire la r ponse du vieux Beattie de Meikledale au ministre de sa paroisse, qui le louait de cette m me facult . Non, docteur, dit l'honn te habitant des fronti res, je ne commande pas ma m moire; elle ne retient que ce qui frappe mon imagination, et tel point, monsieur, que lorsque vous me pr chez pendant une couple d'heures, il ne m'est pas possible de me rappeler, la fin, un seul mot de votre discours. Peut- tre y a-t-il peu d'hommes dont la m moire garde avec une gale fid lit plusieurs sujets de diff rente esp ce; mais je suis f ch de dire que, tandis que la mienne a t rarement en d faut sur quelques pi ces de vers ou quelques traits de caract re qui avaient une fois int ress mon imagination, cependant elle ne m'a t ordinairement que d'un bien faible secours lorsqu'il s'agissait non seulement de noms, de dates, ou d'autres d tails minutieux de l'histoire, mais encore de choses plus importantes.

It is the time of the Scottish Jacobite uprising of 1745 which sought to restore the Stuart dynasty in the person of Charles Edward Stuart, known as "Bonnie Prince Charlie." A young English dreamer and soldier, Edward Waverley, is sent to Scotland that year. He journeys north from his aristocratic family home, Waverley-Honour, in the south of England, first to the Scottish Lowlands and the home of family friend Baron Bradwardine, then into the Highlands and the heart of the rebellion and its aftermath.
