[Footnote 1: Mr. Hutton's _Life of Scott_, in the English Men of
Letters series, contains no chapter nor any extended passage on
Scott's critical and scholarly work, though there is a chapter on
"Scott's Morality and Religion," and one on "Scott as a Politician."
This, like the other short biographies of Scott, is professedly a
compilation, so far as its facts are concerned, from Lockhart's book.
The Lives of Scott by Gilfillan and by Mackenzie, published about the
time of the Scott centenary in 1871, are longer than Hutton's, but
contain no more extended references to the critical writings.
Mackenzie's book out of nearly five hundred pages gives only one to a
discussion of the edition of Dryden, and half a page to an account of
the establishment of the _Quarterly Review_. Gilfillan characterizes
the critical work in almost as short a space, but with a good deal of
judgment. The German biography of Scott contemporary with these, by
Dr. Felix Eberty, is concerned with the man rather than his works. Of
later Lives of Scott, Prof. Saintsbury's gives, in proportion to its
length, more space than any other to Scott's critical work, but the
book has only a hundred and fifty-five pages in all. Another recent
biographer, Mr. W.H. Hudson, says of Scott's editorial and critical
work, "these exertions, though they call for passing record, occupy a
minor place in his story"; and he gives them only "passing record."
Mr. Andrew Lang's still more recent and briefer _Sir Walter Scott_
devotes only a few lines here and there to comment on Scott as a
critic, and contains hardly even a reference to the little-known
volumes that he edited.]

[Footnote 2: Ten of Scott's twenty-seven novels (counting the first
series of _Chronicles of the Canongate_ as one) have scenes laid in
the eighteenth century. They are as follows, arranged approximately in
the order of their periods: _The Bride of Lammermoor_, _The Pirate_,
_The Black Dwarf_, _Rob Roy_, _The Heart of Midlothian_, _Waverley_,
_Guy Mannering_, _Redgauntlet_, _Chronicles of the Canongate (First
series)_, _The Antiquary_. The long poems all found their setting in
earlier periods.]

precisely in proportion to the degree in which it is sketched from
present nature," should not necessarily lead on to the condemnation
which follows: "He does not see how anything is to be got out of the
past but confusion, old iron on drawing-room chairs, and serious
inconvenience to Dr. Heavysterne." (_Modern Painters_, Part IV, ch.

[Footnote 13: The fact that Scott was a Clerk of the Court of Sessions
is remembered less frequently than the fact that he had business
complications. But this employment of his, which could be undertaken
only by a lawyer, occupied a large proportion of his time during
twenty-four years. He once wrote, "I cannot work well after I have had
four or five hours of the court, for though the business is trifling,
yet it requires constant attention, which is at length exhausting."
(_Constable's Correspondence_, Vol. III, p. 195.) Again he wrote, "I
saw it reported that Joseph Hume said I composed novels at the clerk's
table; but Joseph Hume said what neither was nor could be correct, as
any one who either knew what belonged to composing novels, or acting
as clerk to a court of justice, would easily have discovered."

and 1824, were done for the Roxburghe Club. In 1824 he also wrote some
notes for Warton's _History of English Poetry_.]

[Footnote 41: _Age of Wordsworth_, p. 39.]

[Footnote 42: A number of volumes containing old ballads together with
modern imitations had been published both before and after the
appearance of Percy's _Reliques_, but Ritson's collections were the
first, except Percy's, to treat the material in a scholarly way.]

[Footnote 43: The discussion centered upon the social and literary
position of minstrels. The first edition of the _Reliques of Ancient
English Poetry_, published in 1765, contained an essay on the History
of Minstrelsy, and one on the Origin of the Metrical Romances, which,
taken together, says Mr. Courthope, "may be said to furnish the first
generalized theory of the nature of mediaeval poetry." (_History of
English Poetry_, Vol. I, p. 426.) Percy considered the minstrels as
the authors of the compositions which they sang to the harp, and as
holding a dignified social position similar to that of the Anglo-Saxon
scôp or the old Norse scald. This theory was vigorously attacked by
Joseph Ritson in the preface of his _Select Collection of English
Songs_ in 1783, and again in his _Ancient English Metrical Romances_
in 1802, and in his essay On the Ancient English Minstrels in Ancient
Songs and Ballads (1792). Ritson contended that minstrels were musical
performers of a low class, or even acrobats, and that they were not
literary composers. Scott used his knowledge of ballads and romances
and the customs depicted in them to reinforce his own decision that
the truth lay somewhere between the two extremes. He pointed out that
the word may have covered a wide variety of professional entertainers.
A modern comment (by E.K. Chambers, in _The Mediaeval Stage_, Vol. I,
p. 66) seems like an echo of Scott: "This general antithesis between
the higher and lower minstrelsy may now, perhaps, be regarded as
established. It was the neglect of it, surely, that led to that
curious and barren logomachy between Percy and Ritson, in which
neither of the disputants can be said to have had hold of more than a
bare half of the truth."]

[Footnote 44: Scott's theory as to the authorship of ballads is even
now held by Mr. Courthope. At the end of his chapter on Minstrelsy, in
_The History of English Poetry_, he thus sums up the matter: "All the
evidence cited in this chapter shows that, so far from the ballad
being a spontaneous product of popular imagination, it was a type of
poem adapted by the professors of the declining art of minstrelsy,
from the romances once in favour with the educated classes. Everything
in the ballad--matter, form, composition--is the work of the minstrel;
all that the people do is to remember and repeat what the minstrel has
put together." This statement represents a position which is actively
assailed by the adherents of the communal origin theory. Another
critical idea which originated in Germany, and in which Scott had no
interest, though he knew something about it, was the Wolffian
hypothesis in regard to the Homeric poems. He once heard Coleridge
expound the subject, but failed to join in the discussion. (_Journal_,
Vol. II, p. 164; _Lockhart_, Vol. V, p. 193.) He said the theory could
never be held by any _poet_. See a note by Lockhart on the essay on
_Popular Poetry_. Henderson's edition of _Minstrelsy_, Vol. I, p. 3.]

[Footnote 45: Review of Cromek's _Reliques of Burns_. _Quarterly
Review_, February, 1809.]

[Footnote 46: "No one but Burns ever succeeded in patching up old
Scottish songs with any good effect," Scott wrote in his _Journal_
(Vol. II, p. 25). And in his review of Cromek's _Reliques of Burns_ he
said on the same subject of Scottish songs: "Few, whether serious or
humorous, past through his hands without receiving some of those magic
touches which, without greatly altering the song, restored its
original spirit, or gave it more than it had ever possessed."
(_Quarterly_, February, 1809.)]

[Footnote 47: _Remarks on Popular Poetry_, Henderson's edition of
_Minstrelsy_, Vol. I, p. 46.]

[Footnote 48: Henderson's edition of _Minstrelsy_, Vol. I, p. xix.]

[Footnote 49: Henderson's edition of _Minstrelsy_, Vol. I, pp. 167-8.]

[Footnote 50: The matter may be traced in Child's collection of
ballads, or more easily in the latest edition of the _Minstrelsy_,
edited by T.F. Henderson and published in four volumes in 1902. Mr.
Henderson's views of ballad origins are quite in accord with Scott's
own, but he notes the points at which Scott failed to follow any
originals. There seems to be some reason to believe, however, though
Mr. Henderson does not say so, that Scott wrote _Kinmont Willie_
without any originals at all, except the very similar situations in
three or four other ballads. See the introduction by Professor
Kittredge to the abridged edition of Child's ballads, edited by
himself and Helen Child Sargent.

It is unnecessary to give here any detailed account of Scott's
procedure, as the matter has been thoroughly worked out by students of
ballads. A few examples may be given as illustrations, however. In
_The Dowie Dens of Yarrow_ (Henderson's edition, Vol. III, p. 173) 28
lines out of the 68 are noted by Mr. Henderson as either changed or
added by Scott. Scott writes (beginning of fifth stanza), "As he gaed
up the Tennies bank" for "As he gaed up yon high, high hill," and we
find from a note of Lockhart's that _The Tennies_ is the name of a
farm belonging to the Duke of Buccleuch. In the sixth stanza Scott
changes the lines,

"O ir ye come to drink the wine
As we hae done before, O?" to
"O come ye here to part your land,
The bonnie forest thorough?"

In the seventeenth stanza he changes,

"A better rose will never spring
Than him I've lost on Yarrow?" to
"A fairer rose did never bloom
Than now lies cropp'd on Yarrow."

In _Jellon Grame_ (Vol. III, p. 203), Mr. Henderson notes changes in
15 different lines, and points out 2 whole stanzas, out of the 21,
that are interpolated. In the _Gay Goss-hawk_ (Vol. III, p. 187) 6
stanzas out of 39 are noted as probably wholly or mainly by Scott, and
30 stanzas were changed by him. Sometimes his alterations occurred in
every line of a stanza. It is probable that Scott changed _Jamie
Telfer_ enough to make the Scotts take the place of prominence that
had been held by the Elliotts in the original form of the story. See
_The Trustworthiness of Border Ballads as Exemplified by 'Jamie Telfer
i' the Fair Dodhead' and other Ballads_; by Lieut.-Col. the Hon.
Fitzwilliam Elliott. Reviewed in _Edinburgh Review_, No. 418, p. 306
(October, 1906).]

[Footnote 51: See the examples given in the preceding note. Most of
the changes there spoken of were made without annotation.]

[Footnote 52: This extraordinary young man was poet and scholar on his
own account by 1800, though he was four years younger than Scott. His
erudition in many fields was remarkable, and he was as enthusiastic as
Scott himself about Scotch poetry, and was the chief assistant in
gathering ballads for the _Minstrelsy_. He also collected the material
for the essay on Fairies in the second volume, which was especially
praised by the reviewer in the _Edinburgh Review_ (January, 1803).
Leyden's chief fame was derived from his wonderfully varied activities
in India, from 1803 to his early death in 1811. Any reader of
Lockhart's _Life of Scott_ or of Scott's delightful little memoir,
published first in the _Edinburgh Annual Register_ for 1811, and
included in the _Miscellaneous Prose Works_, must feel that the
uncouth young genius is a familiar acquaintance.]

[Footnote 53: The Ettrick Shepherd, who, after reading the first two
volumes of the _Minstrelsy_, sought an acquaintance with Scott, and
offered assistance which was gladly made use of in the preparation of
the third volume. Scott in his turn provided much of the material for
Hogg's _Jacobite Relics_, published in 1819. The following note on one
of the songs in that work adds to the reader's doubts concerning the
accuracy of Scott's texts: "I have not altered a word from the
manuscript, which is in the handwriting of an amanuensis of Mr.
Scott's, the most incorrect transcriber, perhaps, that ever tried the
business." (_Jacobite Relics_, Vol. I, p. 282. Note on song lxiii.)]

[Footnote 54: Henderson's edition of the _Minstrelsy_, Vol. I, p.
284.]

[Footnote 55: _Quarterly_, May, 1810.]

[Footnote 56: _Lockhart_, Vol. III, p. 514.]

[Footnote 57: Still more striking evidence that Scott lacked an
infallible sense of the difference between genuine and spurious ballad
material is afforded by his comments on Peter Buchan's collection,
which is now considered particularly untrustworthy. He thought that
with two or three exceptions the pieces in the book were genuine, and
said: "I scarce know anything so easily discovered as the piecing and
patching of an old ballad; the darns in a silk stocking are not more
manifest." (_Correspondence of C.K. Sharpe_, Vol. II, p. 424.)]

[Footnote 58: Scott's manuscript collections of ballads dropped
partially out of sight after his death, and it was only about 1890
that their magnitude and importance became known. Professor Child and
later editors have found them of very great service. (On Child's use
of the Abbotsford materials, see the Advertisement to Part VIII of his
collection, contained in Volume IV.) In 1880 appeared a reprint of the
_Ballad Book_ of C.K. Sharpe, "with notes and ballads from the
unpublished manuscripts of C.K. Sharpe and Sir Walter Scott," but the
contributions from Scott's papers did not amount to much. Scott's
materials were at the service of his friend for use in the original
edition of the _Ballad Book_, published in 1823. See _Sharpe's
Correspondence_, Vol. II, pp. 264, 271 and 325, for letters from Scott
on this subject.]

[Footnote 66: The _Minstrelsy_ is arranged in three parts: I.,
Historical Ballads; II., Romantic Ballads; III., Imitations of the
Ballad. The first part is preceded by the Introductory Remarks on
Popular Poetry, and by the historical introduction. The second part is
preceded by the essay on The Fairies of Popular Superstition; and the
third by the essay on Imitations of the Ancient Ballad. The poems by
Scott given in this third part are as follows: _Thomas the Rhymer_
(parts 2 and 3), _Glenfinlas_, _The Eve of St. John_, _Cadyow Castle_,
_The Gray Brother_, _War Song of the Royal Edinburgh Light Dragoons_.
Besides these there are three poems by John Leyden (and he has also an
_Ode on Scottish Music_ preceding the Romantic ballads), two by C.K.
Sharpe, three by John Marriott, who was tutor to the children of the
Duke of Buccleuch, and one each by Matthew Lewis, Anna Seward, Dr.
Jamieson, Colin Mackenzie, J.B.S. Morritt, and an unnamed author. In
the other parts of the book there are a few imitations, notably the
three by Surtees--_Lord Ewine_, the _Death of Featherstonhaugh_, and
_Barthram's Dirge_, which Scott supposed were old; and one or two like
the _Flowers of the Forest_, which he noted as largely modern, or
which he had found, after arranging his material, to be wholly modern.
Nearly forty old ballads were published in the _Minstrelsy_ for the
first time.]

[Footnote 77: Louis-Elizabeth de la Vergne, Comte de Tressan, was born
in 1705 and died in 1783. In early life he was sent to Rome on
diplomatic business, and it is said that in the Vatican library he
acquired his taste for the literature of chivalry. His chief works
were _Amadis de Gaules_ (1779); _Roland furieux_ (translated from the
Italian, 1780); _Corps d'extraits romans de chevalerie_ (1782). His
translations were partly adaptations, and were far from being rendered
with precision.]

much correspondence on _Sir Tristrem_, and it was Ellis's queries that
first led Scott into the detailed investigation which resulted in the
separate publication of the work. He had intended to print it in the
_Minstrelsy_ (_Lockhart_, Vol. I. p. 289). The letters are given in
_Lockhart_, Vol. I.]

[Footnote 82: Kölbing thinks Scott probably hired a transcriber who
knew nothing of Middle English--a usual method of procedure in the
beginning of the nineteenth century. In later editions more errors
were introduced by the carelessness of printers, until, after 1830,
when the book was included in the complete editions of Scott's poems,
the text was collated with the manuscript. But it was still far from
correct. Kölbing enumerates about a hundred and thirty mistakes (see
his Introduction, p. xvii). Of these I took twenty-one at random, and
found that eight of them did not occur in the 1806 edition--in other
words, the person who collated the text nearly thirty years after
Scott or his hired transcriber had done it was far from infallible. A
few illustrations may be given of mistakes that occur in both the 1806
and the 1833 editions: l. 117, _send_ is given for _sent_; l. 846,
_telle_ for _tel_; l. 863, _How_ for _Hou_; l. 912, _mak_ for _make_;
l. 1212, _leuedi_ for _leuedy_; l. 1580, _wende sche weren_ for
