¶ First edition in original publisher's boards, belonging to the young Fifth Duke of Buccleuch, Walter Francis Montagu-Douglas-Scott (1806-1884). His father, Charles Montagu-Scott (1772-1819), was a close friend and patron of Scott's, to whom the author dedicated his "Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border." The Fourth Duke of Buccleuch helped Scott to his post of sheriff-depute of Selkirkshire and guaranteed a loan of £4000 which Scott used to "repurchase the copyright of 'The Lady of the Lake' and 'Rokeby' from John Ballantyne & Co., thus putting £4000 into the business to keep it solvent" (ODNB). Of his friend, Scott wrote "we had many feelings and pursuits in common and perhaps it is uncommon for two men so different in rank to have lived more intimately and familiarly" (letter to Lady Abercorn, Nov. 1819). Scott purchased land abutting the Buccleuch estate and upon the death of his friend the Duke became involved in preserving the interests of the family and in overseeing the education of his late friend's son. "The little Buccleuch turns out a goodly youth with fine points of sense and generosity about him. A better selected course of reading & still more of conversation will do very much for him" (letter to Lady Louisa Stuart, Feb. 1825). Scott was himself a descendant of the Lords of Buccleuch and explored his family lineage in "The Lay of the Last Minstrel." A superb association, in original condition

Fine. Todd & Bowden 186Ac, 187Ac, 188Ab. Kress III C1778, C1781, C1784.
¶ "In this series of 'Letters' defending the issuance of Scottish banknotes Scott benefits from his work on Swift by patterning the Malachi Malagrowther letters on Swift's Drapier's Letters" (Todd & Bowden p. 621). "In February 1826 there may have been a degree of calculation in Scott's entering the debate on a government measure introduced to deal with the economic crisis which would have restricted the rights of the Scottish banks to issue their own notes, but Scott represented it as a nationalist issue, 'the late disposition to change every thing in Scotland to an English model' (Journal, 94). In February and March he wrote three letters to the editor of the Edinburgh Weekly Journal in which he used the currency issue as an exemplum for the larger tendency. The letters caused a sensation. Ministerial friends were very angry, but withdrew the measure. The banks were grateful; taking a lead from his old rival in love, William Forbes, they agreed to the creation of a trust for the settling of Scott's debts, and The Letters of Malachi Malagrowther, as the letters are now known, is recognized as a classic in political argument" (DNB).

The Quarterly Review. February & May 1810. Vol. III [Nos. V-VI].

London Printed. New York: Reprinted for Ezra Sargeant, 1810. (NELSON, LORD) First American Edition. 8vo. [vi], 438 pp. Contemporary acid calf. Joints rubbed, label chipped.
¶ This early, interesting volume of the celebrated Quarterly Review is notable for the essay on Nelson by Robert Southey at pp. 218-262, reviewing four biographies. Southey wrote to Charles Danvers, 14 December 1809: "Yesterday I received a letter from Gifford requesting me to review the great life of Nelson, and offering me 20 guineas a sheet to do it .... The Life of Nelson is by Stainer Clark, whose - laying unhallowed hands upon such a subject, I am desired not to spare." Editor William Gifford was "driven by circumstances to some omissions" as he wrote to Southey, but Murray subsequently reprinted the essay in its entirety as a separate book (1813). It is now recognized as one of the gems of English prose. Also in this volume are Southey's review of Vason's "Authentic Narrative of Four Years' Residence at Tongataboo, one of the Friendly Islands, in the South Sea", a contemporary notice of Ricardo's first separate publication, "The High Price of Bullion -", and several contributions on travel and exploration by John Barrow. Discussing Dentrecasteaux's "Voyage à la Recherche de la Pérouse", Barrow doubts the existence of cannibals (p. 38), a conviction subsequently repeated in other articles. Barrow's review of Staunton's "Ta Tsing Leu Lee; being the Fundamental Laws, and a Selection from the Supplementary Statutes of the Penal Code of China" begins "This is an extraordniary book in every point of view - the first book which has ever been translated immediately from the Chinese character into the English language." Elsewhere, rather disingenuosly, Barrow reviews a French translation of his "Voyage to Cochinchina". WITH several reviews by Sir Walter SCOTT: "Fatal Revenge: or the Family of Montorio: a Romance", Evans' "Old Ballads", Aikin's "Essays on Song Writing", and Evans' "Vocal Poetry" (Todd & Bowden 49A for the London edition). The reviews of Holford's "Wallace: or, the Flight of Falkirk. A Metrical Romance", pp. 63-69, and "Pursuits of Agriculture, a Satirical Poem, in Three Cantos" are also attributed to Scott. "The Lady of the Lake" is reviewed by George Ellis at pp. 492-517
