A review from The Moving Picture World on 9 Jan 1909 writes, "An excellent production of Scott’s well known novel of that name. The Vitagraph people have given another of their ambitious films which is as satisfactory as it is possible to make such a long story in so condensed a form. The staging is as near correct as can be made now, and the acting is especially good. The scene where the heroine goes mad is strong and appears natural in the last degree. This film is extremely popular with the audience, and brought a round of applause in two different places where it was seen this week.” Another review from The Moving Picture World calls it "a very excellent effort", but took issue with the liberty taken with Scott's source material, writing, "Just a word to the producer, who takes a liberty with Scott's text by making Edgar commit suicide and die, a ghastly object, at the foot of sea-swept rocks. That is just exactly what he did not do in the book." Preservation status 
This is presumed a lost film. References
