Sir Walter Scott as a Critic of Literature

In _The Dowie Dens of Yarrow_ (Henderson's edition, Vol.

III, p.

173) 28 lines out of the 68 are noted by Mr.Henderson as either changed or added by Scott.

Scott writes (beginning of fifth stanza), "As he gaed up the Tennies bank" for "As he gaed up yon high, high hill," and we find from a note of Lockhart's that _The Tennies_ is the name of a farm belonging to the Duke of Buccleuch.
