     summary: But the scheme failed here in America, and apparently the letter was not made public until Cooper, irritated by the appearance in Lockhart's _Life of Scott_ of Sir Walter's comments on his personal manner,[328] explained the affair (except the reason for dropping the plan), and published the correspondence in the _Knickerbocker Magazine_ for April, 1838.[329] Later in the same year Cooper wrote a severe review of the biography of Scott, attacking his character in a way that seems absurdly exaggerated.[330] Auld Robin Gray_, 157 Austen, Jane, 75, 100, 130 _Autobiography of Scott_, 160 Bage, Robert, 73, 75, 79 Baillie, Joanna, 46, 85, 97, 98, 114, 118, 151, 156 _

     summary: W. P. K. Sir Walter Scott When I was asked to choose a subject for a lecture at the Sorbonne, there came into my mind somehow or other the incident of Scott's visit to Paris when he went to see _Ivanhoe_ at the Odéon, and was amused to think how the story had travelled and made its fortune:-- 'It was an opera, and, of course, the story sadly mangled and the dialogue in great part nonsense. Speaking of the difference between the genius of Shakespeare and Sir Walter Scott, he says: 'It is the difference between _originality_

     summary: Isabel's father is a stagy villain, or rather rascal (for Victor Hugo's antithesis between _scélérat_ and _maroufle_ comes in here), and even Scott has never hustled off a conclusion with such complete _insouciance_ as to anything like completeness. not difficult to interpret on one of the hints just given, and 'Duns Scotus,' which concerns the other; while yet a third characteristic, which can surprise nobody, is indicated in the famous introduction of him to a boisterous party of midshipmen of the Marryat type by James Clerk, the brother of Darsie Latimer, who kept a yacht, and was fond of the sea: 'You may take Mr. Scott for a poor _lamiter_, gentlemen, but he is the first to begin a row and the last to end it.'

     summary: This very amiable, modest, and intelligent friend of Sir Walter Scott's died in 1837.] It would hardly, I believe, be too much to affirm, that Sir Walter Scott entertained, under his roof, in the course of the seven or eight brilliant seasons when his prosperity was at its height, as many persons of distinction in rank, in politics, in art, in literature, and in science, as the most princely nobleman of his age ever did in the like space of time.--I turned over, since I wrote the preceding sentence, Mr. Lodge's compendium of the British Peerage, and on summing up the titles which suggested _to myself_

James Ballantyne, in his deathbed _memorandum_, says: When Mr. Scott first questioned me as to my hopes of him as a novelist, it somehow or other did chance that they were not very high.

     summary: A descendant of Wat of Harden, linked to the best blood of the Border, and with every phase of his life redolent of the Border feeling, history has had no difficulty in claiming Sir Walter Scott as the most representative Border man the world has seen. Purdie's grave, close to Melrose Abbey, with a modest stone erected by Sir Walter Scott, is probably the most visited of the 'graves of the common people' almost anywhere.
