Sir Walter Scott
by Richard H. Hutton
Sir Walter Scott from Richard Holt Hutton. English journalist of literature and religion (1826-1897). It will be observed that the greater part of this little book has been taken in one form or other from Lockhart's Life of Sir Walter Scott, in ten volumes. No introduction to Scott would be worth much in which that course was not followed. Indeed, excepting Sir Walter's own writings, there is hardly any other great source of information about him; and that is so full, that hardly anything needful to illustrate the subject of Scott's life remains untouched.
