My dear Sir,

Will you kindly accept the
accompanying book, "Sir Walter Scott: A Character Study"?

This little book had gone to press
before your magnificent work appeared. I read
it with tremendous interest and admiration,
and was relieved to find that on no
material point was I at variance with
you with regard to Scott's life and
character. It gives me confidence to
know that so great an authority as
yourself supports the conclusions I come to,
and although my little book is but
a humble attempt to pay a tribute
to Scott, it is good to feel that it
follows, however far off, the kind of
estimate that you make of the great
and good Sir Walter.
