All the suns of the novel hitherto mentioned had moons and stars around them; all the _cadres_ of the various kinds were filled with privates and non-commissioned officers to follow the leaders.

Gait and Moir carried out the "Scotch novel" with something of Scott, but more of Smollett (Gait at least certainly, in part of his work, preceded Scott).
Lady Morgan, who has been mentioned already, Banim, Crofton Croker, and others played a similar part to Miss Edgeworth.

Glascock, Chamier, and Howard were, as it were, lieutenants (the last directly so) to Marryat.
The didactic side of Miss Edgeworth was taken up by Harriet Martineau.
Mrs.Shelley's _Frankenstein_ (1818) is among the latest good examples of the "Terror" class, to which her husband had contributed two of its worst, and two of the feeblest books ever written by a man of the greatest genius, in _Zastrozzi_ and _St.Irvyne_, some seven years earlier.

Many women, not unnaturally, encouraged by the great examples of Miss Burney, Miss Edgeworth, Miss Austen, and Miss Ferrier, attempted novels of the most various kinds, sometimes almost achieving the purely domestic variety, sometimes branching to other sorts.

The novels of Mrs.
Gore, chiefly in the "fashionable" kind, are said to have attained the three-score and ten in number; Mrs.Crowe dealt with the supernatural outside of her novels if not also in them; the luckless poetess "L.E.L." was a novelist in _Ethel Churchill_ (1837) and other books; Mrs.
Trollope, prolific mother of a more prolific son, showed not a little power, if not quite so much taste, in _The Vicar of Wrexhill_ (1837) and _The Widow Barnaby_.
