He is the editor of Some Passages in the Life of Mr Adam Blair and The History of Matthew Wald in the Edinburgh Critical Edition of the Works of John Gibson Lockhart, as well as the two-volume edition of James Hogg’s Contributions to Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine in the Stirling / South Carolina Research Edition of the Collected Works of James Hogg.

• Introduction; Contributions to Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine for 1817-1828; Appendix A: Chaldee Manuscript 'Continuation'; Appendix B: Musical Notation; Appendix C: Chronological Listing; Hyphenation List: Notes; Glossary.

Identifying and collecting Hogg's contributions to Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine in volume form is clearly a tremendous advantage for students and scholars without ready access to the original issues. In keeping with the ethos of this edition, there are also some previously unpublished works, for example, the pastoral Dramas of Simple Life No. II that Hogg would later revise extensively for publication as A Bush Aboon Traquair.
