and drearelight to ki 1 daylight. But
Scott takes few liberties with his orieal
.facts and. characters. ;1-- he treats them,
with the costume ant manners Of the
'period, as the backgrot nd of the picture.
The personages with whom he deale free-

shall have irresistable fascinatio at

commonest and the mbst mischie roils
way in which personality breaks m t is
, pamphleteering uuder the guise of fic-
tion. One novel is a pamphlet eta inst
lunatic asylums, another against Model
I- prisons,- a third. against the poor law, a
fourth against the government offices, a
fifth agaiust trades unions. In hese
pretended. works of imagination facte are
coinedin support of a crotchet or an an-
tipathy with all the liceuse of fiction ;
calumny revels without restraint, and no
cause is, served but that of falsehood and
njustice. A writer ta.kes offence at the
xeessive popularity of athletic • sports ;
instead of bringing out an accurate and
conscientious' treatise to advocate modera-
tion, he lets fly - 'a novel painting the
typical boating man as a seducer of con-
fiding women, the betrayer of his friend,
and the nturderer of his wife. Religious
zealots are very apt to take this methad of
enlisting imagination, as they think, on
the -side of truth. I remember a high
Anglican novel in which the Papist was.
