THE SCOTT COUNTRY
By W. S. CROCKETT
[Illustration]
_In One Volume. Large Crown 8vo, Cloth.
Containing about 200 Illustrations._
_Probable price 3s. 6d. net._
Mr. W. S. Crockett's book on "The Scott Country" will tell the story of
the famous Borderland and its undying associations with Sir Walter, its
greatest son. His early years at Sandyknowe and Kelso will be sketched
by one who is himself a native of that very district. Scott's first
Border home at Ashestiel, and the making of Abbotsford, the Ettrick and
Yarrow of Scott, the memories that cluster round Melrose, the district
of Hawick, and the country of "Marmion," will all have a place in the
work. Not a spot of historic and romantic interest but will be referred
to all along the line of Tweedside and its tributaries from Berwick to
the Beild. The Border country of Scotland has already been the subject
of a very extensive literature, but the "Scott Country" being presented
upon a more compact and comprehensive plan than has yet been attempted,
will, we feel sure, be a source of satisfaction to every reader, whether
Border-born or not. To the Scott abroad the volume will recall many a
familiar memory, and at home it should take its place as a standard work
of its kind, the author being, according to Dr. Robertson Nicoll and
others, perhaps the most capable living student of the Border and its
literature. The "Scott Country" will have close on 200 illustrations,
many of them quite new; and the price is such as to bring it within the
reach of all.
