p. 2.) See _Lockhart_, Vol. II, p. 510, for quotations from Byron
showing his admiration for Scott. An interesting contrast between the
characters of the two poets is drawn by H.S. Legare. (See his
_Collected Writings_, Vol. II, p. 258.)]

[Footnote 303: Byron said, "Crabbe's the man, but he has got a coarse
and impracticable subject." (Moore's _Life and Letters of Byron_, Vol.
IV, pp. 63-4.) Leslie Stephen remarks that Crabbe "was admired by
Byron in his rather wayward mood of Pope-worship, as the last
representative of the legitimate school." (_English Literature and
Society in the 18th Century_, p. 207.)]

[Footnote 305: The reader will at once recall the ingenuous remark of
Sophia Scott when she was asked, shortly after its appearance, how she
liked _The Lady of the Lake_. She said, "Oh, I have not read it; Papa
says there's nothing so bad for young people as reading bad poetry."

to him, "If you wish to speak of a real poet, Joanna Baillie is now
the highest genius of our country."]
