From the Preface: The Life of Mr. Lockhart has been compiled under many difficulties, some of which I foresaw, while others I did not anticipate. The book grew out of the publisher's wish that I should prepare for him an edition of Mr. Lockhart's Life of Sir Walter Scott. An introductory chapter on the author of that great work seemed desirable, and the chapter swelled into a biography of Mr. Lockhart.
