Excerpt from In the Days of Scott Scott lived in a borderland that extended from the days of the eighteenth to the days of the nineteenth century, and with him, in imagination, we cross from the reign of George III. To that of William IV., from the American Colonies to the presidency of Andrew Jackson. We see the last of old methods of life and the beginning of the era in which we still live, for during the years of Sir Walter Scott were made those discoveries and inventions which, developed and applied, have transformed the condi tions of civilized life. Steam and electricity became man's docile servants in those years, and to these agencies primarily is due the amazing change that makes our outer World different from that into which Scott was born.
