The Works. First William Scott Douglas edition of the Scottish national poet's writings with original illustrations by William Freeman in each volume. Described by ODNB as a "splendid, six-volume library edition, the poems in this edition are arranged chronologically, and while it was the most sumptuous yet published it was also the most complete and correct regarding both text and notes". Freeman painted in the same circle as John Sell Cotman. His work, which largely involved watercolour landscapes, was greatly influenced by Romantic literature.
