"The Knight's bones are dust And his good sword rust, His soul is with the saints, I trust," are probably much better known as they appear in _Ivanhoe_, incorrectly quoted, than in their proper form. Scott also added a note on Coleridge in this connection. (_Ivanhoe_, Chapter VIII.)] [Footnote 258: But apparently not in any earlier than _The Black Dwarf_, which was written in 1816, the year in which the poem was published. It was about 1803 that Scott heard _Christabel_ recited. See _Familiar Letters_, Vol. II, p. 221.] [Footnote 259: _Lockhart_, Vol. I, p. 356.] [Footnote 260: _Familiar Letters_, Vol. I, p. 315.] [Footnote 261: See _Letters to Heber_, p. 293; _On Imitations of the Ancient Ballad_; _Lockhart_, Vol. III, pp. 56 and 264; _Quentin Durward_, Vol. II, p. 394.] [Footnote 262: Note in _The Abbot_.] [Footnote 263: _Lockhart_, Vol. III, p. 223.] [Footnote 264: Note in _St. Ronan's Well_. See also the comment on _Wallenstein_ in _Paul's Letters_, Letter XV.] [Footnote 265: Review of _Childe Harold_, _Canto III_, _Quarterly_, October, 1816.] [Footnote 266: In 1818 Scott wrote a review of _Frankenstein_ in which it appears that he thought Shelley was the author. Shelley had sent the book with a note in which he said that it was the work of a friend and he had merely seen it through the press; and Scott took this for the conventional evasion so often resorted to by authors. (See Mr. Lang's note in his Introduction to the Waverley Novels, p. lxxxvi.) Scott praises the substance and style of the book, and advises the author to cultivate his poetical powers, in words which make it evident that he did not know Shelley as a poet, though _Alastor_ had appeared in 1816. Scott also praises _Frankenstein_ in his article on Hoffmann. In reading Scott's novels I have noted two reminiscences of the line, "One word is too often profaned." They are to be found in _Old Mortality_, Vol. II, p. 93, and in _Redgauntlet_, Vol. I, p. 224.] [Footnote 267: _Journal_, Vol. II, p. 179.] [Footnote 268: _Familiar Letters_, Vol. I, p. 40.] [Footnote 269: _Familiar Letters_, Vol. I, p. 97.] [Footnote 270: _Journal_, Vol. I, p. 333] [Footnote 271: _Ibid._, Vol. II, p. 190.] [Footnote 272: I quote from the letter as given in Knight's _Wordsworth_, Vol. II, p. 105. Prof. Knight says that Lockhart quotes the letter less exactly (Vol. I, p. 489.)] [Footnote 273: _Lockhart_, Vol. III, p. 428.]
