Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from Lives of the Novelists
The following Biographical and Critical Sketches - for they claim no more important name - were written for the purpose of serving as prefaces to a Collection called Ballantyne's Novelist's Library; a work undertaken by the late Mr. John Ballantyne, bookseller in Edinburgh, a person whom no one knew without being desirous to oblige him. It was carried on after his death by Messrs Hurst and Robinson of London, for the benefit, in some measure, of Mrs. Ballantyne, but it is for the present suspended. It has since been thought advisable to publish the Preliminary Notices in the present connected form.
