As son-in-law and literary executor to Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832), John Gibson Lockhart (1794–1854) was uniquely placed to produce a definitive biography of the great poet and novelist.
Volume 2, 3, 67, and 7. Half Bound. Boards are bumped and rubbed. Soiling on boards. Chipping of leather on boards. Gilt on spine and title with the volume is still legible. Joints starting. Foxing and mild age-toning to the pages, but otherwise, text unmarked and binding secure.
Based on personal memories, correspondence, and Scott's own autobiographical sketches.
