Book synopsis

Excerpt from The Journal of Sir Walter Scott, Vol. 1: From the Original Manuscript at Abbotsford ON the death of Sir Walter Scott in 1832, his entire literary remains were placed at the disposal of his son-in-law, Mr. John Gibson Lockhart. Among these remains were two volumes of a Journal which had been kept by Sir Walter from 1825 to 1832. Mr. Lockhart made large use of this Journal in his ad mirable' life of his father-in-law. Writing, however, so short a time after Scott's death, he could not use it so freely as he might have wished, and, according to his own statement, it was by regard for the feelings of living persons that he both omitted and altered; and indeed be printed no chapter of the Diary in full.
