Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scott and Scotland, or Historical and Romantic Illustrations of Scottish History As we have a great aversion to read a preface ourselves, so is it much against our will that we impose the task upon others. If a book be bad, a preface, however finely it may be written, will not improve it; and if the book be good, it needs nothing, save its own contents, to recommend it. However, it is the fashion to have a preface, and a book which wanted it would be incomplete; and therefore is it that one is prefixed to this.

Download or read book History of the Scott Family Classic Reprint written by Henry Lee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Scott Family Innes, in relation to the original name of Scot or Scott in Scotland, was that long before surnames were known, the people of that country received the appellation of Scotus or Scot in addi tion to their former name, thus plain Robert became Robert Scot and reared a family who retained the name of their ancestor. This especially may have been so with those who wandered from Scotland into other countries, and who became known as Robert the Scot, David Scotus as the case might be. Other historians claim that the name of Scot land itself was derived from the family name; in fact, claim that a family of primitive gypsies gave a name to the country in which it located instead of a country giving a surname to divers Wanderers from its borders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Days of Scott The days of Sir Walter Scott bring us so much nearer to our own time, that Chaucer and Shakespeare and Milton must have seemed to the author of Waverley as far removed from him as they seem re mote from ourselves. It is not easy to keep the past in true perspective. We think of our Revolutionary days as long gone by, and of Scott as modern, without reflecting that Scott was but a little child when the New England farmers fired the shot heard round the world. The impression that the father of the historical novel lived not so very long ago is due partly to the fact that he is so much more modern than the days of Chivalry and of Border warfare about which he wrote, and partly to the wholesome and abounding Vitality of this great Scotchman.

Download or read book Sir Walter Scott Classic Reprint written by George Saintsbury and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Walter Scott To the very probable remark that 'Another little book about Scott is not wanted, ' I can at least reply that apparently it is, inasmuch as the publishers proposed this volume to me, not I to them. And I believe that, as a matter of fact, no 'little book about Scott' has appeared since the Journal was completed, since the new and important instalment of letters appeared (in both cases with invaluable editorial apparatus by Mr. David Douglas), and especially since Mr. Lang's Lockhart was published. It is true that no one of these, nor any other book that is likely to appear, has altered, or is likely to alter, much in a sane estimate of Sir Walter. 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 apercus from time to time. And for the continued and, as far as space permits, detailed criticism of the work, it may be pleaded that criticism of Scott has for many years been chiefly general, while in criticism, even more than in other things, generalities are deceptive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Insurrection in Scotland in 1715 Mr Macknight, Treasurer, reported to the Meeting that having applied to The Right Honourable The Earl of Rosslyn for the use of the Manuscript Memoirs of John, Master Of Sinclair, his Lordship had in the handsomest manner consented to its publication by the Club, and, along with a fair Transcript, had sent the original Manuscript to Edinburgh. Having likewise applied through Isaac Bayley, Esq., to Mr Hope Scott of Abbotsford, for the use of the Transcript of the same Work, prepared for the Press, with Notes, by Sir Walter Scott, this application had been equally successful, and that the Club were now in a position to proceed, under the most favourable circumstances, with the publication of this long desired and valuable Historical Work. The Committee having heard this Report, unanimously resolved that the "Memoirs Of The Insurrection In Scotland In 1715," by John, Master Of Sinclair, be printed for the Members of The Abbotsford Club, under the joint superintendence of Mr Macknight and Mr Laing, from the original Manuscript, accompanied with Sir Walter Scott's Annotations, from the Manuscript at Abbotsford.

The facts in the case exist in published works, and in manuscript letters of Ritson to Scott, and Hogg to Scott, and in the original ms. Of the song, with a note by Hogg to Laidlaw. If we are interested in the truth about the matter, we ought at least to read the very accessible material before bringing charges against the Sheriff and the Shepherd of Ettrick.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Centuries of Scottish Literature, Vol. 1 Haliburton in his Horace in Homespun, or of Mr. J. M. Barrie in his pictures of Thrums. But probably these writers would be among the first to acknowledge that certain changes which have passed over the country since the days of Scott have narrowed the range of such work. The cities and the upper classes have been largely Angli cised. The Scotland of Lord Cockburn's Memoirs, with its Scotch-speaking Judges of Session, and its ladies of rank, entirely Scotch both in language and habits, is gone. Well marked national peculiarities are now to be found principally in the remoter and quieter rural districts, and in the lower classes of society. On the whole, it seems best to regard Scott as the last great figure in the Scotland which was the outcome of the Reformation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Walter Scott, as a Critic of Literature With Scotland and with popular poetry any discussion of Sir Walter properly begins. The love Of Scottish minstrelsy first awakened his literary sense, and the stimulus supplied by ballads and romances never lost its force. We may say that the little volumes of ballad chap-books which he collected and bound up before he was a dozen years Old suggested the future editor, as the long poem on the Conquest Of Grenada, which he is said to have written and burned when he was fifteen, fore shadowed the poet and romancer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of Sir Walter Scott Eleven years we now may tell, Since we have known each other well; Since, riding side by side, our hand First drew the voluntary brand; And sure, through many a varied scene, Unkindness never came between. Marmion, Introduction to Canto IV. James Skene of Rubislaw, near Aberdeen, was born on the 7th March 1775. His father, a brilliant but erratic young barrister, died the year after his birth, and he was left to the guardianship of his mother, the heiress of the Jacobite Moirs of Stoneywood, a woman of character and eccentricity, who shocked her contemporaries by such extravagances as making her annual journey to Edinburgh on horseback in a scarlet riding-habit. By the early death of his elder brother he inherited Rubislaw at the age of sixteen, and his mother then removed him from the High School at Edinburgh and set him to find his way alone to Hanau in Germany to complete his education - no small feat for a boy of sixteen in the year of the Revolution.

This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Epitome of Lockhart's Life of Scott He concludes another letter by saying I wish I had time to write about the Life of Scott. 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 greatly like (without any censure on its present length) to see published an abbreviation of it. Mr. Hope Scott tells us that to the suggestion made in the last extract he paid immediate attention; but, being unable to attempt the task himself, and at the same time being jealous of entrusting it to less reverent, even though more skilful, hands, he found it difficult to proceed. He says One eminent man, to whom I pro posed the work, combined all the qualifications which I could desire, but his own pursuits prevented him from undertaking it; and, after his refusal, the pros peot of a new Life, such as alone I could have wished to see published, became gradually more uncertain.

Download or read book The Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott Classic Reprint written by Walter Scott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott The third son of Sir William was Walter Scott, the first laird Of Raeburn. He and his wife were willing converts to the doctrines Of George Fox, the Quaker apostle, but the elder brother, a sturdy Jacobite, would have no such nonsense in the family, and caused Walter and his Wife to be clapped into prison and their children educated apart from such pestilential associations as the peace-loving, non-resisting Friends. SO effective was the procedure that Walter's son Walter finally intrigued in the cause Of the exiled Stuarts, lost pretty much all he had in the world, even his head being in great jeopardy, and wore his beard unclipped to the day Of his death under vow that no razor should touch it till the return Of the Stuarts, and so got the name Of Beardie vows, razors, and beards always appear to have had some occult connection. In the Introduction to the sixth canto of Marmion he half puts on Beardie's coat as he writes to Richard Heber. Beardie was Scott's great-grandsire. His grandfather was Beardie's second son Robert Scott of sandy-knowe, and as this ancestor came to have a large part in Scott's early life, it is worth while to attend to Sir Walter's own narrative concerning him.
