Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life of Sir Walter Scott, Bart, Vol. 1 It appeared to me, however, that the author's modesty had prevented him from telling the story of his youth with that fulness of detail which would now satisfy the public. I have therefore recast my own collections as to the period in question, and presented the substance of them, in five succeeding chapters, as illus trations of his too brief autobiography. This procedure has been attended with many obvious disadvantages; but I greatly preferred it to print ing the precious fragment in an Appendix.
