Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sir Walter Scott It will be observed that the greater part of this little book has been taken in one form or other from Lockhart´s Life of Sir Walter Scott, in ten volumes. No introduction to Scott would be worth much in which that course was not followed. Indeed, excepting Sir Walter´s own writings, there is hardly any other great source of information about him; and that is so full, that hardly anything needful to illustrate the subject of Scott´s life remains untouched. As regards the only matters of controversy, - Scott´s relations to the Ballantynes, I have taken care to check Mr. Lockhart´s statements by reading those of the representatives of the Ballantyne brothers; but with this exception, Sir Walter´s own works and Lockhart´s life of him are the great authorities concerning his character and his story. Just ten years ago Mr. Gladstone, in expressing to the late Mr. Hope Scott the great delight which the perusal of Lockhart´s life of Sir Walter had given him, wrote, "I may be wrong, but I am vaguely under the impression that it has never had a really wide circulation. If so, it is the saddest pity, and I should like (without any censure on its present length) to see published an abbreviation of it."
