[Footnote 386:  Journal, Vol.  II, p. 276.  In the Edinburgh Annual Register for 1808 (published 1810) is an article on the Living Poets of Great Britain, which if not written by Scott was evidently influenced by him.  Speaking of Southey, Campbell and Scott, the writer says:  “Were we set to classify their respective admirers we should be apt to say that those who feel poetry most enthusiastically prefer Southey; those who try it by the most severe rules admire Campbell; while the general mass of readers prefer to either the Border Poet.  In this arrangement we should do Mr. Scott no injustice, because we assign to him in the number of suffrages what we deny him in their value.”  He once wrote to Miss Baillie, “No one can both eat his cake and have his cake, and I have enjoyed too extensive popularity in this generation to be entitled to draw long-dated bills upon the applause of the next.” (Familiar Letters, Vol.  I, p. 173.) But in the Introductory Epistle to Nigel he said, “It has often happened that those who have been best received in their own time have also continued to be acceptable to posterity.  I do not think so ill of the present generation as to suppose that its present favour necessarily infers future condemnation.”]
