ver, at the affair, the conspirators disperse, the prince embarks,
and Redgauntlet becomes the prior of a monastery abroad. This is one of
the inferior novels, but is redeemed by the character of Peter
Peebles.--Sir W. Scott, _Redgauntlet_ (1824).

_Redgauntlet_ embodies a great deal of Scott's own personal history
and experience.--Chambers, _English Literature_, ii. 589.

=Redi= (_Francis_), an Italian physician and lyric poet. He was first
physician to the grand-duke of Tuscany (1626-1698).

Bacchus in the Tuscan valleys,
Never drank the wine he vaunted
In his dithyrambic sallies.

Longfellow, _Drinking Song_.

=Redlaw= (_Mr._), the "haunted man." He was a professor of chemistry, who
bargained with the spirit which haunted him to leave him, on condition
of his imparting to others his own idiosyncrasies. From this moment the
chemist carried with him the infection of sullenness, selfishness,
discontent and ingratitude. On Christmas Day the infection ceased.
Redlaw lost his morbid feelings, and all who suffered by his infection,
being healed, were restored to love, mirth, benevolence and
gratitude.--C. Dickens, _The Haunted Man_ (1848).

=Redmain= (_Sir Magnus_), governor of the town of Berwick (fifteenth
century).

He was remarkable for his long red beard, and was therefore called
by the English "Magnus Red-beard," but by the Scotch, in derision,
"Magnus Red-mane," as if his beard had been a
horse-mane.--Godscroft, 178.
