After reading Richilieu, which had been given to him by a friend, and after receiving a letter from James, Walter Scott advised him to take up literature as a profession. He was also given encouragement by Washington Irving. Previous owner's ink inscription dated 1922 to front pastedown. In original cloth binding. Externally, sound but with some wear to extremities, slight rubbing and marks to boards with slight splitting to cloth to head and tail of joints. Internally, firmly bound.
