Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Antiquary — Volume 01" by Walter Scott is a novel published in 1816. Set in Scotland during the 1790s, it follows the eccentric antiquary Jonathan Oldbuck and the mysterious Lovel, whose forbidden love for Isabella Wardour drives the plot.
