BOOTHS ANONYMITY.

Why Scott should have chosen deliberately TO
remain anonymous is strange enough; but. hav-
ually harped upon this subject in his prefaces 5
still more strange The ordinary anonymous
writer either gives no reason for his conduct, or
briefly hints his reasons once and for ALL Not
so Scott. He seemed to take a real delight in
making his prefaces the medium of gigantic
Missing word competition" which was calcu-
lated to stimulate and whet the curiosity of the
public on the production of each novel Finally.
of course, Scott compelled to disclose his
authorship, and. having done at public
dinner in Edinburgh. as he tells us in the "Chron
ices of the CanOngate," he then gave his rea-
sons for his. battling conduct in subsequent
preface. He has several explanations to hand.
The Waverley Novels he argues, were a gil
gantic experiment, and therefore demanded
anonymity. An experiment they certainly were.

want fame; he had already won sufficient lit

he was being eclpsed by Lord Byron. His Lord

of a success. Why, then, did he not seize the
opportunity to recover his prestige in another
direction? Again he explains that by remain
