Excerpt from Sir Michael Scott, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance It is, I confess, with some diffidence and fear that I dismiss this Romance from my hands. To present to my countrymen an image of the poetic beliefs of their ancestors, to gather from history, tale, and tradition, the torn and scattered members of popular superstition, and seek to unite them into one consistent narrative, may be considered by some a presumptuous undertaking or an idle labour, while others may think that beliefs so strange, and superstitions so wild, were worthy only of the darkness to which growing knowledge was consigning them. I hope to find readers more mild, and critics more indulgent, who will think that whatever illustrates the character of our ancestors, or seeks to preserve beliefs which were once common, and fears and feelings formerly popular, deserves to escape from censure, if not to receive praise.
