General Remarks:  this 12 volume set covers the range of titles in the "The Waverley Novels". According to Internet sources they were so named because Scott at first did not publicly acknowledge that they were his work and, therefore, the name of the series was taken from the first novel, "Waverley", first published in 1814.
