Excerpt from Over the Border

In submitting to my readers this book of memories and thoughts of Scotland, the peculiar home of romance, it is my hope that it will meet with the same kind welcome that has been extended to its predeces~ sors in the realm of sentiment and meditation, shake speare's england and gray days and gold, and that it will be viewed as their natural sequel and com panion. In those books, whether striving to preserve in words the atmosphere of lovely scenes or to extol the beauty and rejoice in the renown of the achieve ments of genius, I have endeavored to interweave a thread of Shakespearean interest,-consideri/ng, as I do, that the study of Shakespeare is the study of life, and therefore a pursuit of vital and general impor tance. In this book, which is descriptive of beautiful scenery and memorable places in the Lowlands and the Highlands that are over the border between England and Scotland, I have tried to maintain, for all my themes, an association as intimate as possible with the noble spirit and wonderful genius of Walter Scott.
