DEAR LADY MINTO,-Mr Vol. 2 1 1808 TO LADY MINTO 1 (2-1)DEAR LADY MINTO,-Mr. Constable will send your (2-1)Ladyship tomorrow two copies of Marmion properly (2-1)packed up-One splendid which I hope the Governor (2-1)General will do me the honor to accept & one of a (2-1)subordinate description for my brother-in-law Carpenter. (2-1)I also inclose a few lines to Lord Minto with my little (2-1)offering of grateful remembrance. (2-1)As your Ladyship flattered me by expressing a wish for (2-1)an early perusal I send my own copy the only one yet (2-1)finished. I have promised to shew some part of it [to] a (2-1)friend tomorrow evening but if your Ladyship wishes to (2-1)have it returned to finish the perusal on the fast day when (2-1)it will be like " stolen waters " or " bread eaten in secret" (2-1)I will have the honor to return it on Thursday morning (2-1)if you will be so good as spare it me tomorrow about (2-1)6 o'clock. Believe me with great respect Your Ladyship's (2-1)most Obedient Very humble Servt (2-1)WALTER SCOTT (2-1)EDINR. Tuesday [1808] [Owen D. Young] TO CHARLES KIRKPATRICK SHARPE (2-1)[Jan.] A.D. 1808 (2-1)DEAR SHARPE,-Lady Louisa Stuart is with us tonight (2-1)if you will look in any time after seven. I am anxious to 2 LETTERS OF l808 (2-2)congratulate you upon your safe delivery.1 The first (2-2)literary child always gives most trouble & anxiety (2-2)Believe me Yours always W. SCOTT (2-2)CASTLE STREET Thursday. (2-2)Charles K. Sharpe Esq. 5 Charlotte Square [Hornel] TO JOHN BALLANTYNE, JUNR. (2-2)[1808] (2-2)DEAR SIR,-I have your note for 200,, and I think it (2-2)will be very right to bring all these sums together when (2-2)I have been able to complete my advance. I rather (2-2)think it will be impossible for me to do so to the proposed (2-2)extent till next Summer. What I should wish would be (2-2)to see the Concern which is in so flourishing a state (2-2)proceed from blossom to fruit or without a metaphor I (2-2)would like to advance as much as may secure us (in general (2-2)at least) from the necessity of temporary expedients and (2-2)admit of my drawing my proportion of the profits which (2-2)at present must necessarily go to discharge these burthens. (2-2)The payment of the Copy Money of Marmion will put (2-2)this in my power even to a larger extent than you desired. (2-2)But till this is received I see little chance of my being (2-2)able to contribute above an odd hundred or two which (2-2)I expect from India.-I am therefore anxious about the (2-2)progress of this work and wish it to be set up with speed. (2-2)Constable informs me that the paper is daily expected and (2-2)that you may set up a sheet or two in the mean time. I (2-2)therefore send the Introduction to Canto I and will send (2-2)the Canto itself on Monday. I am with regard Yours truly (2-2)CASTLE STREET Saturday W SCOTT (2-2)Private. Mr. John Ballantyne Junior. [Signet Library] 1808 SIR WALTER SCOTT 3 TO J. W. ADAM (2-3)SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge your polite (2-3)letter and to return you my best thanks for the flattering (2-3)opinion which you have been pleased to express of my (2-3)literary efforts. (2-3)My time has been lately employed upon the poem to (2-3)which you allude ; but as it does not give any historical (2-3)account of the unfortunate Battle of Flodden, being in (2-3)truth merely a poetical romance terminated by that (2-3)memorable event, I have not felt myself called upon to (2-3)make any minute researches into the circumstances of the (2-3)defeat: nor do I at present remember any thing corresponding (2-3)to the circumstance which you enquire about. (2-3)If I should happen to light upon any thing likely to be (2-3)useful to you in establishing your right to the arms and (2-3)chieftainship of your family I will have great pleasure (2-3)in communicating it and I am with great respect Sir (2-3)your obliged and obedt. Servant WALTER SCOTT (2-3) EDINBURGH 12 Jany. 1808. [Owen D. Young] TO LADY LOUISA STUART (2-3)EDINBURGH, 19th January 1808 (2-3)I AM much flattered. Dear Lady Louisa, by your kind (2-3)and encouraging remembrance. Marmion is, at this (2-3)instant, gasping upon Flodden field, and there I have (2-3)been obliged to leave him for these few days in the death (2-3)pangs. I hope I shall find time enough this morning to (2-3)knock him on the head with two or three thumping (2-3)stanzas. I thought I should have seen Lady Douglas (2-3)while she was at Dalkeith, but all the Clerks of Session (2-3)(excepting myself, who have at present no salary) are (2-3)subject to the gout, and one of them was unluckily visited (2-3)with a fit on the day I should have been at the Duke's, so (2-3)I had his duty and my own to discharge.-Pray, Lady 4 l808 LETTERS OF (2-4)Louisa, don't look for Marmion in Hawthornden or (2-4)anywhere else, excepting in the too thick quarto which (2-4)bears his name. As to the fair De Lally,1 I beg her (2-4)pardon with all my heart and spirit; but I rather think (2-4)that the habit of writing novels or romances, whether (2-4)in prose or verse, is unfavourable to rapid credulity ; at (2-4)least these sort of folks know that they can easily make (2-4)fine stories themselves, and will be therefore as curious (2-4)in examining those of other folks as a cunning vintner (2-4)in detecting the sophistication of his neighbour's claret (2-4)by the help of his own experience. Talking of fair ladies (2-4)and fables reminds me of Mr. Sharpe's ballads, which (2-4)I suppose Lady Douglas carried with her to Bothwell. (2-4)They exhibit, I think, a very considerable portion of (2-4)imagination, and occasionally, though not uniformly, (2-4)great flow of versification. There is one verse, or rather (2-4)the whole description of a musical ghost-lady sitting (2-4)among the ruins of her father's tower, that pleased me (2-4)very much. But his language is too flowery and even (2-4)tawdry, and I quarrelled with a lady in the first poem (2-4)who yielded up her affection upon her lover showing his (2-4)white teeth.2 White teeth ought to be taken great care (2-4)of and set great store by ; but I cannot allow them to be (2-4)an object of passionate admiration-it is too like subduing (2-4)a lady's heart by grinning. Grieved am I for Lady (2-4)Douglas's indisposition, which I hope will be short, and (2-4)I am sure will be tolerable with such stores of amusement (2-4)around her. Last night I saw all the Dalkeith family (2-4)presiding in that happy scene of mixed company and (2-4)Babylonian confusion, the Queen's Assembly. I also l808 SIR WALTER SCOTT 5 (2-5)saw Mr. Alison there. I hope your ladyship has not (2-5)renounced your intention of coming to Edinburgh for a (2-5)day or two, and that I shall have the honour to see you. (2-5)We have here a very diverting lion and sundry wild (2-5)beasts ; but the most meritorious is Miss Lydia White,1 (2-5)who is what Oxonians call a lioness of the first order, (2-5)with stockings nineteen-times-nine dyed blue, very lively, (2-5)very good-humoured, and extremely absurd. It is very (2-5)diverting to see the sober Scotch ladies staring at this (2-5)phenomenon. I am, with great respect, your ladyship's (2-5)honoured and obliged WALTER SCOTT [Lockhart] TO ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE (2-5)[1808] (2-5)DEAR SIR,-The volumes of Swift (besides the first) (2-5)which are wanting in the copy sent me are the 7th. 8th. (2-5)and 18th. I should be glad to have them as soon as (2-5)possible & also the Examiner which is become most (2-5)essential. I cannot find it in the Advocates Liby. Yours (2-5)truly W. S. (2-5)Mr. Constable [Stevenson] TO LADY ABERCORN (2-5)EDINBURGH, 22d January l808 (2-5)DEAR LADY MARCHIONESS,-I have at length got a (2-5)copy of Burns's Love-Letters to Clarinda 2 the little publication (2-5)which I mentioned to your Ladyship at Dumfries. It is (2-5)rather too heavy for an ordinary frank. I have therefore (2-5)addressed it under cover to Lord Gastlereagh, who will 6 LETTERS OF l808 (2-6)I presume take care of it for your Ladyship.

  • Ainsley Mcintosh, Ed., Marmion: a Tale of Flodden Field, Edinburgh: Edinburgh UP, 2018, the Edinburgh Edition of Walter Scott’S Poetry
    The Wenshan Review of Literature and Culture．Vol 13.2．June 2020．209-212. DOI: 10.30395/WSR.202006_13(2).0009 Ainsley McIntosh, ed., Marmion: A Tale of Flodden Field, Edinburgh: Edinburgh UP, 2018, The Edinburgh Edition of Walter Scott’s Poetry. Pp. 486. £90. ISBN 9781474425193. Kang-yen Chiu Walter Scott’s Marmion: A Tale of Flodden Field was published in February 1808 when the poet was thirty-seven years old. The first edition of 2,000 copies sold out in less than two months, and with a third edition by the end of May, a total of 8,000 copies were sold in a little over three months. Marmion remained a best-seller throughout the nineteenth century. The Brontë sisters were admirers of the poem and it is mentioned in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre (1847). Marmion, a historical romance having the Battle of Flodden in 1513 as its focus, along with The Lay of the Last Minstrel (1805) and The Lady of the Lake (1810), has been regarded as the best of Scott’s poetry. These three works were translated into Chinese between the 1980s and 1990s, and they remain the only poems by Scott that have Chinese translations.1 In marked contrast to his novels, with the earliest Chinese translation of the Waverley Novels (Ivanhoe), by Lin Shu ( , 1852-1924), appearing in 1905, the Chinese have been introduced to Scott’s poetry only relatively recently, and it is probably the case that most Chinese speaking readers today are unaware of the fact that Scott began his literary career as a poet, and that writing poetry was an activity that spanned his whole career.

Dale One Word More on Scott's Anonymity Mr. Seamus Cooney in his "Scott's Anonymity--Its Motives and Consequences" (BBL, 10 (1973), pp. 207-219) presents a compre- hensive survey of the various motives or implied by Scott for maintaining the anonymity of the Wavepley Novels from 1814 to 1827. Besides the many motives suggested in Scott's prefaces--some obviously playfully, others with some appearance of sincerity--Mr. Cooney points out another more po­ tent motive, probably only partly realized by Scott himself. This is the psychological need for anonymity in the writing process itself. Scott, it appears, adopted a number of narra­ tive personae different from his "real" self and felt that with disclosure of his authorship his novel-writing would corne to an end. (Why this did not apply to the poems is not mentioned.) The intention of this note is to corroborate but modify Mr.

  • Prestige Label Discography
    Discography of the Prestige Labels Robert S. Weinstock started the New Jazz label in 1949 in New York City. The Prestige label was started shortly afterwards. Originaly the labels were located at 446 West 50th Street, in 1950 the company was moved to 782 Eighth Avenue. Prestige made a couple more moves in New York City but by 1958 it was located at its more familiar address of 203 South Washington Avenue in Bergenfield, New Jersey. Prestige recorded jazz, folk and rhythm and blues. The New Jazz label issued jazz and was used for a few 10 inch album releases in 1954 and then again for as series of 12 inch albums starting in 1958 and continuing until 1964. The artists on New Jazz were interchangeable with those on the Prestige label and after 1964 the New Jazz label name was dropped. Early on, Weinstock used various New York City recording studios including Nola and Beltone, but he soon started using the Rudy van Gelder studio in Hackensack New Jersey almost exclusively. Rudy van Gelder moved his studio to Englewood Cliffs New Jersey in 1959, which was close to the Prestige office in Bergenfield. Producers for the label, in addition to Weinstock, were Chris Albertson, Ozzie Cadena, Esmond Edwards, Ira Gitler, Cal Lampley Bob Porter and Don Schlitten. Rudy van Gelder engineered most of the Prestige recordings of the 1950’s and 60’s. The line-up of jazz artists on Prestige was impressive, including Gene Ammons, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, Art Farmer, Red Garland, Wardell Gray, Richard “Groove” Holmes, Milt Jackson and the Modern Jazz Quartet, “Brother” Jack McDuff, Jackie McLean, Thelonious Monk, Don Patterson, Sonny Rollins, Shirley Scott, Sonny Stitt and Mal Waldron.

  • Sir Walter Scott - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Sir Walter Scott - poems - Publication Date: 2004 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Sir Walter Scott(1771-1832) Walter Scott, born in College Wynd, Edinburgh, was the son of a lawyer. Educated first at Edinburgh High School and then University he was apprenticed to his father and called to the bar in 1792. An avid reader of poetry, history, drama and romances, the young Scott read widely in Italian, Spanish, Latin and German. In his twenties he was influenced particularly by the German Romantics and his first published works were translations of G.A. Bürger and Goethe. These were followed by the collections of border ballads and the narrative poems, written between 1805 and 1815, that first made him famous. By by this time he had also married Margaret Charlotte Charpenter, of a French Royalist family, and became sheriff-deputy of Selkirkshire, in 1797 and 1799 respectively. In 1809 Scott became partners with John Ballanytne in a book-selling business and also, as an ardent political conservative, helped to found the Tory 'Quarterly Review'. In 1811 he built a residence at Abbotsford on the Tweed. By 1815, beginning to feel eclipsed as a poet by Byron, he turned to the novel form for which he is now chiefly famous. A vast number of these were published, anonymously, over approximately the next fifteen years. In 1820 Scott was made a baronet and seven years later, in 1827, he first gave his name to his works. However, in 1826 the book-selling business became involved in the bankruptcy of another company, leaving Scott with debts of approximately £114,000.
