 hostile temperaments." But it sinks
 away into shame-faced silence before the appealing voice of a forlorn little
 child looking for her lost mother. "-NeW York World

Mr. scudder uses In this volume of Scott the
text which DR.. Rolfe gave in his edition of
1877. From the earlier edition, however. a
number Of the less important poems were omit

rearranges 1t so as to put 1t as much as possible
in chronological order The notes prehxed to
individual poems or groups OF poems. indicating
their origin the circumstances of their COM
position are partly the editors own. but include
Scott's own introductions with citations from

the book mostly from editions prepared or
supervised by Scott himself. The notices from
the novels are given in an appendix: there Is
full glossary and an index Of first lines, as we'll

became at once minor writer's when Scott took
the field and he called into existence a great

thereby habit of novel reading which was of
the greatest service to the later novelists. like
Dickens and Thackeray, when they came in with
