Also Lives of the Novelists, 2 vols., Paris, 1825. A recent
edition is that published, with an introduction by Austin Dobson,
by the Oxford University Press (No. 94 in The World's Classics).
When these Lives were issued among the Miscellaneous Prose Works
some of the biographical prefaces were put with them, and also
biographical notices, reprinted from the Edinburgh Weekly Journal,
of Charles Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, John Lord
Somerville, King George III, Lord Byron, and The Duke of York. I
give below the names of certain books in which Scott's biographies
were utilized, but the list is probably far from complete:

of York, etc. To which is subjoined Sir Walter Scott's Character
of His Royal Highness. By John Sykes. Newcastle, 1827.
