Excerpt from The Waverley Manual: Or Hand-Book of the Chief Characters, Incidents, and Descriptions in the Waverley Novels, With Critical Breviates From Various Sources Scott, both as a man and a writer, seems to be in danger of passing - we cannot conceive why - out of the knowledge of the rising generation. Doubtless there will be found at most railway stations cheap copies of Scott's Poems and of the Waverley Novels, which travellers purchase, one by one, that they may read them on the j earney as they read any worthless trash, and then throw them away. But the instances are rare, we suspect, in which, even among educated persons, young men or young women under five and twenty, know any thing at all, either of what Scott wrote, or of what he did. Now, we look upon this fact, if a fact it be, as a great public misfortune. You cannot find a surer test of the habits of thought in a people than by taking note of the light literature which is most in favour with the young of its edu cated classes. When we find such great works as Waverley, Guy Ma/nnoring, and the Antiquary, cast aside, in order that young ladies and young gentle men may break their hearts over the sorrows of bigamists and adulterers, we confess that the im pression made upon our minds is not very attering - we do not say to the tastes, but to the moral sense of the age.
