Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Walter Scott's Friends The gravest omission is that, in a book dealing with Sir Walter's Friends, no place has been found for a chapter on The Dogs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Sir Walter Scott: From the Original Manuscript at Abbotsford On the death of Sir Walter Scott, in 1832, his entire literary remains were placed at the disposal of his son-in-law, Mr. John Gibson Lockhart. Among these remains were two volumes of a Journal which had been kept by Sir Walter from 1825 to 1832. Mr. Lockhart made large use of this Journal in his admirable life of his father-in-law. Writing, however, so short a time after Scott's death, he could not use it so freely as he might have wished, and, according to his own statement, it was "by regard for the feelings of living persons" that he both omitted and altered; and, indeed, he printed no chapter of the Diary in full. There is no longer any reason why the Journal should not be published in its entirety, and by the permission of the Hon. Mrs. Maxwell-Scott it now appears exactly as Scott left it - but for the correction of obvious slips of the pen, and the omission of some details chiefly of family and domestic interest. The original Journal consists of two small 4to volumes, 9 inches by 8, bound in vellum, and furnished with strong locks. The manuscript is closely written on both sides, and towards the end shows painful evidence of the physical prostration of the writer. The Journal abruptly closes, towards the middle of the second volume, with the following entry - probably the last words ever penned by Scott: by one of the old Pontiffs but which I forget, and so paraded the streets by moonlight to discover if possible some appearance of the learned Sir William Gell or the pretty Mistress Ashley. At length ice found our old servant who guided us to the. lodgings taken by Sir William Gell where all was comfortable a good fire included which our fatigue and the chilliness of the night required. We dispersed as soon as we had taken some food and wine and water. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Familiar Letters of Sir Walter Scott, Vol. 1 When I was requested by the Hon. Mrs. Maxwell Scott to make a selection for publication from the correspondence preserved at Abbotsford it was intended that the volumes now given to the public should be confined to letters addressed by Sir Walter to members of his own family but other letters which passed between him and some of his dearest friends having, through the courtesy of their representatives, been placed at my disposal, I felt that they would add greatly to the interest of the work, and many of them have accordingly been introduced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Sir Walter Scott Sir Walter Scott was born at Edinburgh on the 1sth of August 1771, being the birthday of the great Euro pean hero [napoleon] whose deeds he was afterwards to record. He was the third of a family consisting of Six sons and one daughter. The eldest son, John, attained to a captaincy in an infantry regiment, but was early obliged to retire from service on account of the delicate state of his health. Another elder brother, Daniel, was a sailor, but died in early life. Of him Sir Walter has often been heard to assert, that he was by far the cleverest and most interesting of the whole. Thomas, the next brother to Sir Walter, followed the father's profession, and was for some years factor to the Marquis of Abercorn, but eventually died in Canada in 1822, in the capacity of paymaster to the 7oth Regi ment. Sir Walter himself entertained a fondly high Opinion of the talents of this brother; but it is not borne out by the sense of 'his other friends. He possessed, however, some burlesque humour, and an acquaintance with Scottish manners and character - qualities which were apt to impose a little, and even induced some individuals to believe, for some time, that he, rather than his more gifted brother, was the author of The Novels.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir of Sir Walter Scott, Bart: With Critical Notices of His Writings At a proper age he was sent to the High School of Edinburgh, then under the superintendence of Dr Alexander Adam. In this school he passed through the different forms without exhibiting any of those extraordinary owersgof genius which are seldom remembered til the person to whom they are ascribed has become, by the maturity of his talents, an 0 'ect of distinction. It is said that he was conside in his boyhood rather heavy than otherwise, and that the late Dr Hugh Blair had discernment enough to predict his future eminence when the master of the school Lamented his dulness. But this only aﬂ'ords another instance of the fallacy of human opinion in pronouncing upon the real capacity of the understanding. Barrow. The greatest scho age, was discarded as a dunce h successive and his pupil, the illustrious ewton, was to be fit for nothing but to drive the team, friends succeeded in getting him transpl college.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Sir Walter Scott, Vol. 5 However this may have been, Scott's answer to Mr. Train proceeded in these words I am now to solicit a favour, which I think your interest in Scottish antiquities will induce you readily to comply with. I am very desirous to have some account of the present state of Turnberry Castle - whether any vestiges of it remain - what is the appearance of the ground - the names of the neighbouring places - and above all, what are the traditions of the place (if any) concerning its memorable surprise by Bruce, upon his return from the coast of Ireland, in the commencement of the brilliant part of his career. The purpose of this is to furnish some hints for notes to a work in which I am now engaged, and I need not say I will have great pleasure in mention ing the source from which I derive my information. I have only to add, with the modest importunity of a lazy correspondent, that the sooner you oblige me with an answer (if you can assist me on the subject), the greater will the obligation be on me.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Sir Walter Scott, Bart On this ground alone (namely, just ap preciation of character), the merits of the following sketch, if it has any, must rest. In the mere statement of events and dates (which, comparatively, are unimportant), there may be errors, which the writer, up to the present hour, had no opportunity to correct, if he had been solicitous to do so. But, instead of feeling anxious on that ao count, some anachronisms were, in one chapter, purposely introduced for the sake of promoting the author's wish (at the out set) to remain anonymous.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott, Vol. 8 Scott's lyre rings but in a mimic tone, like the mocking-bird, as he says, -in a mimicry of himself as he supposes that a friend might have mimicked him. A composition so far from serious need not be very seriously treated. The Cumbrian scenes, as Lockhart observes, were familiar to Scott in the days when he met and wooed Miss Charpentier at Gilsland. Among supposed authors of the poem was Mr. R. P. Gillies, a rather futile hanger - on of letters, whose Recollections of Sir Walter Scott (published before Lockhart's Life) are still worth reading. Taking, or pretending to take, Gillies for the author, Scott's friend, Lady Louisa Stuart, censured the Introduction to the Second Canto. Probably she disliked the point.
