Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Archibald Constable and His Literary Correspondents, Vol. 1 of 3: A Memorial
Were it not for one important element in its composition, the public might ignore my work altogether, and leave me my labour for my pains but this, where Sir Walter Scott forms a central figure, they cannot afford to do; and it is well for me that my father's reverence for the world's idol was so great, that the materials for that portion of my narrative are abundant, if not quite complete.
