Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biography yields to no other species of composition, in interest and instruction. More especially is this true, when the subjects of which it treats are the struggles and vicissitudes of a life devoted to the pursuits of literature. There is a pleasure of the purest kind in observing the gradual development of thought and refinement of expression in one, who, smitten with a love of the good and the beautiful, and desirous to leave something behind him less perishable than his tombstone, has "scorned delights and loved laborious days." No one can read these Memoirs of Sir Walter Scott, so long and so anxiously expected, without feeling this pleasure, and without deriving from them that instruction which might not be received from the perusal of less interesting works. In our judgment, not the least important lesson which these memoirs teach, is the advantage, or rather the necessity, which there is of having some profession less precarious than that of literature, upon which the child of genius can fall back for comfort or support in the hour when adversity clouds the lights which hope hung up in the uncertain future. This is volume 3 out of 7 of one of the best and most extensive Scott biographies ever and it covers the years 1812 through 1815.

This is Volume 3 of a new reprint of that Seven Volume edition. It begins in 1812 with the 'flitting' to Abbotsford, dealings with Messrs Ballantyne and Constable, and much letter writing. Details of a busy early year of publishing, including Waverley, in 1814 are followed by Scott's fascinating travel diary kept during a three month summer Voyage to the Shetland Isles, etc., aboard the Lighthouse Yacht. The journey fills five full chapters of the volume, finishing with Letters in Verse from Zetland and Orkney. The last chapters of the Volume, which finishes in the eventful year of 1815, include Waterloo, a quarrel and reconciliation with Hogg and a football match, with The Durham Garland as an Appendix. 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.

This book was released on 2017-12-09 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life of Sir Walter Scott, Bart, Vol. 2 The year 1815 may be considered as, for Scott's peaceful tenor of life, an eventful one. That which followed has left almost its only traces in the successive appearance of nine volumes, which attest the prodigal genius, and hardly less astonishing industry of the man. Early in January were published Paul's Letters to his Kinsfolk, of which I need not say more than that they were received with lively curiosity, and general, though not vociferous applause. The first edition was an octavo, of 6000 copies; and it was followed, in the course of the next two or three years, by a second and a third, amounting together to 3000 more. The popularity of the novelist was at its height; and this admitted, if not avowed, specimen of Scott's prose, must have been perceived, by all who had any share of discrimination, to flow from the same pen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life of Sir Walter Scott, Bart, Vol. 3 Scott's children remember the parting scene as one of unmixed affection - but it had had, as we shall see, its lighter features. Among the many amiable English friends whom he owed to his frequent visits at Rokeby Park, there was, I believe, none that had a higher place in his regard than the late Anne Lady Alvanley, the widow of the celebrated Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. He was fond of female society in general; but her ladyship was a woman after his heart; well born, and highly bred, but without the slightest tinge of the frivolities of modern fashion; soundly informed, and a warm lover of literature and the arts, but holding in as great horror as himself the imbecile chatter and affected ecstasies of the bluestocking generation. Her ladyship had written to him early in May, by Miss Sarah Smith (now Mrs Bartley), whom I have already mentioned as one of his theatrical favourites; and his answer contains, among other matters, a sketch of the "Forest Flitting." To the Right Honourable Lady Alvanley. "Ashestiel, 25th May, 1812. "I was honoured, my dear Lady Alvanley, by the Kind letter which you sent me with our friend Miss Smith, whose talents are, I hope, receiving at Edinburgh the full meed of honourable applause which they so highly merit.
