| Evidence: | 'Finished the last "Tales of My Landlord" of which the fourth volume is the worst. I think Walter Scott has the peculiar art of growing worse and worse yet preserving his popularity. One poem after another was worse than the former; just so his tales and every volume of every tale continues in a similar climax of deterioration.' |
