See also _Familiar Letters_, Vol. I, p. 198, and the passage in _Lockhart_ (Vol. II, p. 132), in which James Ballantyne reports Scott as saying to him, "If you wish to speak of a real poet, Joanna Baillie is now the highest genius of our country."] [Footnote 309: _Lockhart_, Vol. III, p. 306.] [Footnote 310: _Lockhart_, Vol. V, p. 359; also Vol. I, p. 255; and _Constable's Correspondence_, Vol. III, p. 300.] [Footnote 311: _Lockhart_, Vol. IV, p. 117.] [Footnote 312: _Ibid._, Vol. V, p. 448.] [Footnote 313: _Ibid._, Vol. II, p. 14.] [Footnote 314: _Forster_, Vol. I, p. 84, note.] [Footnote 315: _Ibid._, Vol. I, p. 95.] [Footnote 316: _Haydon's Correspondence_, Vol. I, p. 356.] [Footnote 317: Hunt says Scott was interested in reading _The Story of Rimini_.

Scott wrote as follows to Lockhart after the appearance of _Lord Byron and Some of his Contemporaries_: "Hunt has behaved like a hyena to Byron, whom he has dug up to girn and howl over him in the same breath." Mr. Lang makes this comment: "Leigh Hunt ... had gone out of his way to insult Sir Walter and to make the most baseless insinuations against him. Scott probably never mentioned Leigh Hunt's name publicly in his life, and he refers to the insults neither in his correspondence nor in his _Journal_." (Lang's _Life of Lockhart_, Vol. II, pp. 22 and 24.) Hunt evidently thought that Scott was partly responsible for the articles in _Blackwood_ on the Cockney School. He says, "Unfortunately some of the knaves were not destitute of talent: the younger were tools of older ones who kept out of sight." (Hunt's _Lord Byron_, etc., Vol. I, p. 423.) In his _Autobiography_, Hunt says, "Sir Walter Scott confessed to Mr. Severn at Rome that the truth respecting Keats had prevailed." (Vol. II, p. 44.) Mr. Lang points out that though Colvin said of Scott (in his _Life of Keats_) "that he was in some measure privy to the Cockney School outrages seems certain," he afterwards recanted the statement. (In his edition of _Keats's Letters_, p. 60, note. See Lang's _Lockhart_, Vol. I, pp. 196-8.) Scott invited Lamb to Abbotsford when Lamb was looked upon as a leader of the Cockney School. (Lang's _Scott_, p. 52.)] [Footnote 319: _Journal_, Vol. I, p. 155; _Lockhart_, Vol. IV, p. 476, and Vol. V, p. 380.] [Footnote 320: _Quarterly_, October, 1815.] [Footnote 321: Postscript to _Waverley_, and General Introduction.]
