Rimini_. See Hunt's _Autobiography_, Vol. I, p. 260.]

[Footnote 318: _Journal_, Vol. I, p. 22. Scott wrote as follows to
Lockhart after the appearance of _Lord Byron and Some of his
Contemporaries_: "Hunt has behaved like a hyena to Byron, whom he has
dug up to girn and howl over him in the same breath." Mr. Lang makes
this comment: "Leigh Hunt ... had gone out of his way to insult Sir
Walter and to make the most baseless insinuations against him. Scott
probably never mentioned Leigh Hunt's name publicly in his life, and
he refers to the insults neither in his correspondence nor in his
_Journal_." (Lang's _Life of Lockhart_, Vol. II, pp. 22 and 24.) Hunt
evidently thought that Scott was partly responsible for the articles
in _Blackwood_ on the Cockney School. He says, "Unfortunately some of
the knaves were not destitute of talent: the younger were tools of
older ones who kept out of sight." (Hunt's _Lord Byron_, etc., Vol. I,
p. 423.) In his _Autobiography_, Hunt says, "Sir Walter Scott
confessed to Mr. Severn at Rome that the truth respecting Keats had
prevailed." (Vol. II, p. 44.) Mr. Lang points out that though Colvin
said of Scott (in his _Life of Keats_) "that he was in some measure
privy to the Cockney School outrages seems certain," he afterwards
recanted the statement. (In his edition of _Keats's Letters_, p. 60,
note. See Lang's _Lockhart_, Vol. I, pp. 196-8.) Scott invited Lamb to
Abbotsford when Lamb was looked upon as a leader of the Cockney
School. (Lang's _Scott_, p. 52.)]
