SCOTT (SIR WALTER) A MOST VALUABLE, IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING SERIES OF EIGHTY. THREE AUTOGRAPH LETTERS, written CHIEFLY to HIS BROTHER, THOMAS SCOTT, and to MRS. THOMAS SCOTT, His brother's wIFE, between August 21, 1807, and September 29, 1832, interleaved and bound in one volume, 4to. crushed brown morocco extra, inside dentelles, by Riviere £ s. d. 1807-37 750 0 0 THIS COLLECTION OF AUTOGRAPH LETTERS OF THE GREAT NOVELIST belonged to Mrs. Thomas Scott, widow of Sir Walter's brother; at her death they passed into the possession of her daughters, Janet (married to Lieut.-Col. Huxley, Military Secretary to Lord Dalhousie, GovernorGeneral of Canada in 1819, &c.), and Anne Rutherford Scott. On the death of Miss A. R. Scott in April, 1879, the Letters passed to the Rev. T. Scott Huxley of Canterbury (died March, 1898), who bequeathed them to his widow. The Letters are for the most part very full, occupying mostly 3 pp. and in many cases 4 pp. of 4to. and 8vo. paper. ALL OF THEM ARE UNPUBLISHED AS A WHOLE, though parts of some have been quoted by J. G. Lockhart in the Life, and in Scott's familiar Letters. They relate mostly to domestic and literary matters and other things of which the following is a short summary: Thos. Scott's Monetary Difficulties-his Military Preferment-Proposes he should edit an edition of Shadwell for which he (Sir Walter) would obtain 100 guineas-relates the Purchase of all the old 4to.

James Johnstone's Scandinavian Books in Dublin, some of which he purchased “at a ruinous expence "-Gives Information to his brother of the Early History of the Isle of Man-Willingness to go to India in a situation under Dundas as Governor, in which case he "would not hesitate to pitch the Court of Session and the Booksellers to the Devil,"--is in a bad way in London as a balance of £900 has merged in the treasury."--Mentions "Rokeby," "the publishers got rid of the full 66 A Novel impression of 3000 in two days after publication."-Waverley.
