So far was Edward Waverley from expecting general sympathy with his own feelings, or concluding that the present state of things was calculated to exhibit the reality of those visions in which he loved to indulge, that he dreaded nothing more than the detection of such sentiments as were dictated by his musings.

Edward Waverley, introduced to us memorably (if at great length) in terms of the books he starts but doesn't finish, becomes a waterbug skittering across the waves of history, once a loyal supporter of the Hanoveran throne, then a rebel Jacobite, as his loyalties are played by people of varying moral hues.
Waverley, published in 1814, has the distinction of being the first historical novel; that is, where a heroic fictional character is set within an actual event in history.
The hero, Edward Waverley, is born into a house of divided loyalties, between the treasonable Stuart cause and loyal ties to the Hanoverian crown.

 The Waverley Series and Don Quixote: Manuscripts Found and Lost, by Patricia S. Gaston
Crystal Croftangry, the last of the Waverley narrative personae, is presented with the most personal found manuscript in: that this one is a remnant of his own family history and all that remains for him of a failed fortune.
For the Waverley series, source materials are ballads, poems, oral narratives, and historical texts, all of which create the layered, embedded narratives that constitute what this series means by historical fiction, historiography, and, indeed, all forms of historical discourse.
Further, the Waverley novels as historical fictions demonstrate a remarkable urgency in their search for the lost manuscripts of the past: the human past as manuscript is ephemeral and constantly receding, determined to lose itself or to remain lost.

The laird was only rejoiced that his worthy friend, Sir Everard Waverley of Waverley-Honour, was reimbursed of the expenditure which he had outlaid on account of the house of Bradwardine.
But no answer was returned, though the peal resounded through a number of apartments, and was echoed from the courtyard walls without the house, startling the pigeons from the venerable rotunda which they occupied, and alarming anew even the distant village curs, which had retired to sleep upon their respective dung-hills.
In the meanwhile it may be noticed, that Waverley learned two things from this colloquy; that in Scotland a single house was called a _Town_, and a natural fool an _Innocent_.

There is a long tradition of sailing "doon the watter" on the Clyde, but the Waverley is one of the last survivors (though there is now a ferry service from Glasgow to Braehead and there are plans to start a new high-speed ferry service to Dunoon).
The Waverley is the world’s last sea-going paddle steamer and was launched in 1947, replacing another vessel of the same name, which was lost during the evacuation of British troops from Dunkirk.
Fortunately, the Waverley was sold to the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society - for the price of one pound.
