Excerpt from The Life of Sir Walter Scott: Abridged From Lockhart´s Life of Scott Sirwalterhadgivenhim, wrote, ´i maybe wrong, but I am vaguely under the impres sion that it has never had a really wide circula tion. If so, it is the saddest pity, and I should greatly like (without any censure on its pres ent length) to see published an abbreviation of it.´ Mr. Gladstone did not then know that as long ago as 1848 Mr. Lockhart did himself prepare such an abbreviation, in which the original eighty-four chapters were compressed into eighteen, - though the abbreviation con tained additions as well as compressions. But even this abridgment is itself a bulky volume of 800 pages, containing, I should think, con siderably more than a third of the reading in the original ten volumes, and is not, therefore, very likely to be preferred to the completer work. In some respects I hope that this intro duction may supply, better than that bulky abbreviation, what Mr. Gladstone probably meant to suggest, - some slight miniature taken from the great picture with care enough to tempt on those who look on it to the study of the fuller life, as well as of that image of Sir Walter which is impressed by his own hand upon his works.
