Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Studies in Prose and Poetry
This is the man whose private journal now lies at last before us. 'thank heaven, ' somebody said once 'we know nothing about Shakespeare.' Thank God, any reader of this diary may say, 'we know all about Scott.' But this knowledge brings him so near to us that we feel it almost as difficult as his nearest friends must evidently have felt it to express the impression or translate the emotion it produces or excites.
