[Footnote 1:  Mr. Hutton’s Life of Scott, in the English Men of Letters series, contains no chapter nor any extended passage on Scott’s critical and scholarly work, though there is a chapter on “Scott’s Morality and Religion,” and one on “Scott as a Politician.”  This, like the other short biographies of Scott, is professedly a compilation, so far as its facts are concerned, from Lockhart’s book.  The Lives of Scott by Gilfillan and by Mackenzie, published about the time of the Scott centenary in 1871, are longer than Hutton’s, but contain no more extended references to the critical writings.  Mackenzie’s book out of nearly five hundred pages gives only one to a discussion of the edition of Dryden, and half a page to an account of the establishment of the Quarterly Review.  Gilfillan characterizes the critical work in almost as short a space, but with a good deal of judgment.  The German biography of Scott contemporary with these, by Dr. Felix Eberty, is concerned with the man rather than his works.  Of later Lives of Scott, Prof.  Saintsbury’s gives, in proportion to its length, more space than any other to Scott’s critical work, but the book has only a hundred and fifty-five pages in all.  Another recent biographer, Mr. W.H.  Hudson, says of Scott’s editorial and critical work, “these exertions, though they call for passing record, occupy a minor place in his story”; and he gives them only “passing record.”  Mr. Andrew Lang’s still more recent and briefer Sir Walter Scott devotes only a few lines here and there to comment on Scott as a critic, and contains hardly even a reference to the little-known volumes that he edited.]

[Footnote 2:  Ten of Scott’s twenty-seven novels (counting the first series of Chronicles of the Canongate as one) have scenes laid in the eighteenth century.  They are as
