SCOTS MEMORY A MARVEL
Ballads He Had Heard Only Once the
Great Novelist Could Recite Word
for Word.

To his rare good fellowship and his
other quality, without which his vigor-
GUS search for literary material might
have been of little use, namely, most
extraordinary memory, which enabled
him to retain what he heard and use ii
many years afterward. James Hogg,
the eccentric Ettrick shepherd, gives
fine instance of this power. One
night Scott, with his friends, Hogg
and Skene, was out on a fishing expe-
dition
while we three sat down on the
brink Of river" says Hogg, Scott
desired me to sing them my ballad OF
Gilman's Clough. Now, be 1t remem
bered, that this ballad had never been
printed. I had merely composed 1t
by rote and, on finishing 1t three years
before, had sung it over once to Sir
Walter. / began it at his request
but at the eighth or ninth stanza
stuck in it and could not get on with
another verse, on which he began
it again and recited it every word
from beginning to end. 1t being a very
long ballad, consisting of Lightweight
stanzas, l testified my establishment,
knowing that he had never heard 1t
but once. and even then did not ap
pear to be paying particular attention
He said he had been out with a pleas,
ure party as far as the opening Of the
Firth of Forth, and, to amuse the com.
pany, he had recited that ballad and
one of Southey's (The Abbot of Aber-
brothock), both of which ballads he
had heard only once from their re-
spective authors, and he believed he
recited them both without misplac
ing word FROM Charles S. Olcotts
