Excerpt from Sir Walter Scott, as a Critic of Literature The lack of any adequate discussion of Scott's critical work is a sufficient reason for the undertaking of this study, the subject of which was suggested to me more than three years ago by Professor Trent of Columbia University. We still use critical essays and monumental editions prepared by the author of the Waverley novels, but the criticism has been so overshadowed by the romances that its importance is scarcely recognized. It is valuable in itself, as well as in the opportunity it offers of considering the relation of the critical to the creative mood, an especially interesting problem when it is presented concretely in the work of a great writer. No complete bibliography of Scott's writings has been published, and perhaps none is possible in the case of an author who wrote so much anonymously. The present attempt includes some at least of the books and articles commonly left unnoticed, which are chiefly of a critical or scholarly character. I am glad to record my gratitude to Professor William Allan Neilson, now of Harvard University, and to Professors A. H. Thorndike, W.W. Lawrence, G. P. Krapp, and J. E. Spingarn, of Columbia, for suggestions in connection with various parts of the work. From the beginning Professor Trent has helped me constantly by his advice as well as by the inspiration of his scholarship, and my debt to him is one which can be understood only by the many students who have known his kindness.

George Saintsbury's novel "Sir Walter Scott" is part of the Great Scots Series of biographical novels. It is a biography and literary critique of the legendary 18th century novelist and playwright, famed for the classic novel 'Ivanhoe' among other great works. Saintsbury defends yet another biography of Scott by stating that, "His own matchless character and the genius of his first biographer combined to set before the world early an idea, of which it is safe to say that nothing that should lower it need be feared, and hardly anything to heighten it can be reasonably hoped. But as fresh items of illustrative detail are made public, there can be no harm in endeavouring to incorporate something of what they give us in fresh abstracts and aperçus from time to time."

Excerpt from Life of Sir Walter Scott Criticism will not be attempted, because it would demand more space than it is thought well to occupy because the pre sent writer lacks the disposition for it; because the World is now Scott's judge, and because such criticism can be best gathered from the prefaces and notes to the numerous editions of his works. But to write a true biography, a history of the man's life, and to do so faithfully and lovingly, is all that has been here attempted.

Excerpt from Sir Walter Scott It is perhaps needless to say that I have no new facts to present. The greater part of my book is, of course, made out of Lockhart's great life of his father in-law, supplemented, equally of course, by Scott's own Diary, the two volumes of Familiar Letters, edited by Mr Douglas, and such other works of biography and reminiscence as would naturally be turned to in search of aid. As for my criticisms, such as they are, they stand in every case, save where the contrary is distinctly noted, for my own study'and conclusions. But while I may fairly claim this much for them, I am not vain enough to imagine that they will be found to be anywhere marked by freshness or originality. Scott has been too much written about, wisely and unwisely, for one to hope, at this time of day, to contribute anything new to the general judgment of the man and his work. I may add that, while it is hard, when one has read a good deal on the subject about which one is writing, to be certain at all times of dividing one's own Opinions from opinions one has picked up from others, I have tried to acknowledge direct indebtedness wherever I have felt such acknowledgment to be due.

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.

Excerpt from The Poems and Plays of Sir Walter Scott, Vol. 1 of 2 The critic who would praise without reserve the poetry of Scott, has not only all the other critics against him, but has to reckon with Sir Walter himself. He frankly stated that he never cared much for his own poetry: he did not think it of sufficient excellence for his children to read, but regarded it as a "light horse" kind of rhyme, fit for young men fond of adventure and of the open air. In his address to William Erskine, his friend and adviser, in the Preface to the Third Canto of Marmion, he speaks as all honest poets must speak to all such friends. These are continually asking a man not to be himself, not to do what heaven has given him the power of doing, but to attempt something else. Erskine wanted Scott to study the classics. "Vos exemplaria Graeca Nocturna versate manu, versate diurna." He suggested topics: "Brunswick's venerable hearse," the "Red Cross Knight," or a revival of Tragedy, which Sir Walter, as enthusiastic for his friends' work as indifferent to his own, thought had been sufficiently revived by Miss Joanna Baillie. He himself was content to - "Ape the measure wild Of tales that charmed me as a child." He describes his early boyhood, the haunted towers he knew - "Methought that still with tramp and clang The gateway's broken arches rang... And ever, by the winter hearth. Old tales I heard of woe and mirth, Of lovers' sleights, of ladies' charms, Of witches' spells, and warriors' arms.' Scottish memories, all the hot-blooded past of the race, these were, these were to be, his topics. His manner was, and was to be, what heaven made it - "Though wild as cloud, ' as stream, as gale, Flow forth, flow unrestrained, my tale."
