| Abstract: | The quotation is from Lockhart's "Life of Sir Walter Scott". It describes the passing away of one of the greatest favourites of humanity in Wordsworth's words "the whole world's darling". Few other literary men in the wide range of world literature have been so eminently successful in instilling in their readers such lofty ideals of honour, bravery and chivalry, and no one, perhaps, before or after him, has reached the height and intensity of his popularity. [Excerpt] |
| Description: | The text of the lecture is followed by two appendices, these being two Latin odes by Giuseppe Zammit ('Brighella'), one addressed to John Hookham Frere on the occasion of Scott's visit, and the second addressed to the ship that had borne Scott to Malta. A table was placed by the autonomous government of Malta in the century of the death of Sir Wales Scott on 21st September 1932. |
