Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Sir Walter Scott: Baronet The purpose of the following work requires very little explanation. It was thought by its publishers - a view in which the author thoroughly coincided that a popular life of Sir Walter Scott was a desideratum. There are indeed various lives of Sir Walter already. Lockhart's has long been the standard one, and continues to be justly regarded as a very able work, and as a mine of information on the subject. But it is too large, and, besides the personalities which abound in it and rather lessen its value, it contains a mass of correspondence and minute details which seem somewhat irrelevant and uninteresting now, Scott's letters being the dullest of all his productions. There are many smaller lives; but they are in general meagre outlines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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 2015-07-06 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Centenary Memorial of Sir Walter Scott, Bart "The fame of an illustrious poet is not confined to his own person and writings, but imparts a share of its splendour to whatever has been, even remotely, connected with him; and not only ennobles the objects of his friendships, his loves, and even his likings, but on every spot where he has sojourned through life, leaves traces of its light that do not easily pass away." - Thomas Moore. The English claim Scott for the world; the Scotch ken him for their own. He is beloved at home, and revered abroad. We all know him intimately already from his Poems, his Tales, and his Life. There is a nobility of thought and action in his Poems which stamps him as the Poet of Chivalry. Combined with this high tone, there is minute fidelity of description, which marks careful observation and the love of Truth. There is an active principle in Scott's Novels, which, like a bracing wind, brings invigorating health and purity along with it. Where his spirit meets with kindred feeling, the reader rises a stouter-hearted man, a more genial companion, and returns to his work in life with a determination to throw greater energy into what he has to do. The "Life of Sir Walter Scott" by J. G. Lockhart is allowed to be a masterpiece in English Biography. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I deem'd such nooks the sweetest shade The sun in all its round survey'd; And still I thought that shatter'd tower The mightiest work of human power; And marvell'd as the aged hind With some strange tale bewitchd my mind, Of forayers, who, with headlong force, Down that strength had spurr'd their horse, Their southern rapine to renew.

At Christmas, 1799, he received the appointment of sheriff-depute of Selkirkshire, with a salary of £300 a year; and this possession of an income which, though moderate, was settled and permanent, was especially welcome as placing him in a position of pecuniary ease, which made him to a certain extent independent, and left him at liberty to indulge his literary taste, in pre ference to wasting his talents on the daily drudgery of a precarious profession. From the first it had never jumped with his inclination, and it had failed to grow on him. His feelings towards it be compared to those avowed by Slender to Miss Anne Page There was no great love between us at the beginning; and it pleased Heaven to decrease it on further acquaintance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Miscellaneous Prose Works of Sir Walter Scott, Bart, Vol. 4 of 6: Biographical Memoirs The habits to which its young mistress was expected to conform, were little congenial to her feelings. The lower part of the house was appro priated to the business, and hither the elder Mr Smith came every morning to superintend his com mercial concerns, and usually took his chocolate in his daughter-in-law's dressing-room. He was a worthy, and even a good-natured man, but he had mixed very little in general society - his ideas were Confined, and his manners and habits were not cal culated to inspire affection, however he might be entitled to respect and gratitude. He had no taste for literature, and the elegant amusements of his daughter-in-law appeared to him as so many sources of expense, and as encroachments on time, which he thought should be exclusively dedicated to domestic occupations; he had a quiet petulant way of speak ing, and a pair of keen black eyes, which, darting from under his bushy black eye-brows the most inquisitive glances, always appeared to be in search of to find fault with; so that whenever12 biographical memoirs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Sir Walter Scott, Vol. 1 I foresee that some readers may be apt to accuse me of trenching upon delicacy in certain details of the sixth and seventh chapters in this volume. Though the cir cumstances there treated of had no trivial influence on Sir Walter Scott's history and character, I should have been inclined, for many reasons, to omit them; but the choice was, in fact, not left to me, - for they had been mentioned, and misrepresented, in various preceding sketches of the Life which I had undertaken to illustrate. Such being the case, I considered it as my duty to tell the story truly and intelligibly; but I trust I have avoided unnecessary disclosures; and, after all, there was nothing to disclose that could have attached blame to any of the parties concerned.
