Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Antiquary — Volume 02" by Walter Scott is a novel published in 1816. This second volume continues the adventures of Oldbuck, an eccentric collector of dubious artifacts, alongside the mysterious Lovel and Isabella Wardour's forbidden romance. When a duel over honor leaves blood spilled and secrets exposed, treasure hunts at ancient ruins reveal both genuine riches and calculated deceptions. Scott's favorite among his own works blends Scottish comedy and drama while exploring how the past shapes the present in late 18th-century society.
