By W. S. CROCKETT. The actual drovers and dominies, ladies and lairds,
whom Sir Walter used as his models, figure here, living their own richly
characteristic and romantic lives with unabated picturesqueness. Mr.
Crockett's identifications are all based on strict evidence, the result
is that we are given a kind of flowing sequel to the novels, containing
situations, dialogues, anecdotes, and adventures not included in the
books. The forty-four illustrations comprise many contemporary
portraits, including Baron Bradwardine, Pleydell, Davie Gellatley, Hugh
Redgauntlet, Dugald Dalgetty, and others. 448 pp. Buckram, 6/- net.
