decided Tory, and it is commonly supposed that he was an extremely
prejudiced partisan. But he closes a political passage in _Woodstock_
with these words: "We hasten to quit political reflections, the rather
that ours, we believe, will please neither Whig nor Tory." (End of
Chapter 11.) From the definitions of Whig and Tory given in the _Tales
of a Grandfather_, no one could guess his politics. (Chapter 53.)]

influence of the novels was pernicious. He says: "A curious
exemplification of the power of a single book for good or harm is
shown in the effects wrought by Don Quixote and those wrought by
Ivanhoe. The first swept the world's admiration for the mediaeval
chivalry-silliness out of existence; and the other restored it.... Sir
Walter had so large a hand in making Southern character, as it existed
before the war, that he is in great measure responsible for the war."
(_Life on the Mississippi_, ch. xlvi.)]
