Lockhart follows this with his own 'Illustrations' of and reflections on Scott's history and character in this period of school, apprenticeship and study, plus early travel, debate and correspondence.

This one covers just two years, 1825 and 1826, but there is much to include in order to cover the richness of Scott's personal, writing and business lives. Key events include an excursion to Ireland; Scott beginning to keep a diary; commercial concerns culminating in the 'Catastrophe of the Three Houses of Hurst and Robinson, Constable and Ballantyne' and its aftermath; the Letters of Malachi Malagrowther; the death of Charlotte - his companion for thirty years; and a journey to London and Paris.

This is Volume 7 of a new reprint of that Seven Volume edition. By the time of its appearance, comment on the earlier volumes was being received by Lockhart - who responds to the criticism and defends his strategy of exploring Scott's life and character is great detail. 'I conceive it to be probable that [ ... ] the student of history, and especially of manners, would not be sorry to have access to him "in his habit as he lived."' The account opens in late 1826 with the 55-year-old Scott feeling his age and resenting time not spent writing. Yet, despite increasing ill-health, the years that follow contain a full and now familiar mix of publishing, professional and political life, correspondence, excursions in Britain and Europe, and reflections on the events of the day. The story of Scott's last journey back to Abbotsford is followed by Lockhart's Conclusion, A List of Publications and and Index of Names (covering all volumes). Published simultaneously w th this reprint is a volume bringing together the 1838 publication Refutation of the Mistatements and Calumnies contained in Mr Lockhart's Life of Sir Walter Scott, Bart respecting The Messrs Ballantyne, Lockhart's response to 'The Ballantyne-Humbug' and the Ballantyne Trust's subsequent retort.
