MoREDuN. A TALE OF THE TWELVE HUNDRED AND
TEN. Fetridge Co.
The publication OF a posthumous work Of Sir
Walter Scott may well excite increduhty as to its
authenticity Is is well know that the ruin which
overlook him in his later years compelled him 10
use up every scrap of manuscript which he had
lying BY him, and which his unfettered Judgment
might have induced him TO withhold from the pub
lie. 1t is little likely, then that at this distance Of
time tnere should remain to be dsentonbed work
Of his Of the compass and pretenson OF the present
one without trace Of Its existence having been
previously discovered. We are therefore disposed
to regard as entirely apochryphal the story BY
which its parentage is sought to be established. Il
has not even the features Of plausibiity by which
Chateltons and other celebrated literary forgeries
have been for time successfully palmed on thu
public. Putting aside its pretensions on this
score, the tale is readable enough, aud is deserving
OF fair share Of circulation. This II will be GER
tain to attain, from the curiosity which has been
excited by It's attempted eiiation on the author Of
"Waverley."
