[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 follows, arranged approximately in
the order of their periods: _The Bride of Lammermoor_
