Mr. Scott, who she told me was a very clever gentleman, ' goes there in the fishing season ;' but indeed Mr. Scott is respected everywhere : I believe that by favour of his name one might be hospitably entertained throughout all the borders of Scotland.
Sayfa 24 - It has made a very strong impression here, and the good people of Edinburgh are busied in tracing the author, and in finding out originals for the portraits it contains. In the first place they will probably find it difficult to convict the guilty author, although he is far from escaping suspicion.
Sayfa 169 - I gazed about me for a time with mute surprise, I may almost say, with disappointment. I beheld a mere succession of grey waving hills, line beyond line, as far as my eye could reach, monotonous in their aspect, and so destitute of trees, that one could almost see a stout fly walking along their profile...
Sayfa 39 - He was very learned, not only in Latin, in which he was a master, but in Greek and Hebrew. He had read a great deal of divinity, and almost all the historians ancient and modern: So that he had great materials. He had with these an extraordinary memory, and a copious but unpolished expression. He was a man, as the Duke of Buckingham called him to me, of a blundering understanding.
