Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Genealogical Memoirs of the Family of Sir Walter Scott, Bart;, Of Abbotsford: With a Reprint of His Memorials of the Haliburtons
It may not be asserted that in his aspirations the Author of Waverley has failed. By forming alliances with the ancient and honourable families of Lockhart, Hope, and Max well, and other distinguished septs, his descendants have increased their hereditary greatness. And amidst several changes in the succession the name of Scott of Abbotsford has been preserved, as it will doubtless continue to be, so long as the works of the founder are read, which will probably be as long as the English language is understood.
