(b) Contributions to the Edinburgh Annual Register

(The dates given are those on the volumes.  In most cases the book was issued about a year and a half after the nominal date.  Most of Scott’s contributions are unsigned.  Those which were afterwards included in the collected edition of his poems are in this list marked “Poems”; in other cases (unless the article is signed) a note is made of the reason for attributing it to Scott).

1808 Vol.  I, part 2.

  The Bard’s Incantation.  Poems.

  To a Lady, with Flowers from a Roman Wall.  Poems.

  The Violet.  Poems.

  Hunting Song.  Poems.

  The Resolve.  Poems.

  View of the changes proposed and adopted in the administration of
  justice in Scotland. (See Lockhart, Vol.  II, p. 154.)

Living Poets of Great Britain. (From internal evidence I think this article may have been written by Scott, and am sure that he dictated many of the opinions it expresses, if he is not responsible for the whole.)

1809 Vol.  II, part 2.

  The Vision of Don Roderick. (Reprinted from the first edition.) Poems.

  Epitaph designed for a Monument to be erected in Lichfield Cathedral
  to the Rev. Thomas Seward.  Poems.

  Cursory remarks upon the French order of battle, particularly in the
  campaigns of Buonaparte. (See Lockhart, Vol.  II, p. 161.)

  Periodical Criticism. (From internal evidence I am sure that this was
  written by Scott.  The style is decidedly more interesting than that of
  the article on the poets, in the volume for the preceding year.)

  The Inferno of Altisidora. (This immediately follows the article on
  Periodical Criticism, and is a burlesque sketch on the same subject. 
  It serves to introduce the following imitations, respectively, of
  Crabbe, Moore, and Scott himself.)
