Excerpt from Reminiscences of Sir Walter Scott It did not occur to me till very lately, that this incident is referred to by Sir Walter Scott in his auto biography. He, however, makes the scene not Arthur Seat, but the crags at Smailholm; and, of course, his must be the correct account.

Excerpt from Recollections of Sir Walter Scott, Bart On this ground alone (namely, just ap preciation of character), the merits of the following sketch, if it has any, must rest. In the mere statement of events and dates (which, comparatively, are unimportant), there may be errors, which the writer, up to the present hour, had no opportunity to correct, if he had been solicitous to do so. But, instead of feeling anxious on that ao count, some anachronisms were, in one chapter, purposely introduced for the sake of promoting the author's wish (at the out set) to remain anonymous.

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.

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 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.
