14 INTRODUCTION TO THE LADY OF THE LAKE.
a literary person of merit such services in smooth¬
ing his way to the public as were in my power;
and I had the advantage, rather an uncommon
one with our irritable race, to enjoy general fa¬
vour, without incurring permanent ill-will, so far
as is known to me, among any of my contem¬
poraries.
W. S.
Abbotsford, A'pril 1800.
