	Archibald Constable
		CONSTABLE, ARCHIBALD, an eminent publisher, was born, February 24, 1776, at Kellie in the county of Fife, where his father, Thomas Constable, acted as overseer to the earl of Kellie.
		Mr Constable lived to lament on a death-bed the coldness which the results of his bankruptcy had introduced into the mind of his former friend, and to complain (whether justly or not) that, if he had not been so liberal towards that friend, he might have still known prosperity.
		Mr Constable was of middle stature, and, in his latter years, of somewhat unwieldy bulk; his countenance, a fair index to his mind, displayed lineaments of uncommon nobleness and beauty.

		Constable also agreed to prepare a report into the financial state of both the printing and publishing houses.

		Constable, conversely, was utterly ruined, and his relations with Scott came to an abrupt end.

		Despite being a work by a first-time, unknown author, Home was sold by Constable's in Edinburgh and Longman's in London, both high-profile publishing houses; Knight's association with them is all the most noteworthy as Archibald Constable was, at that time, very reluctant to accept new works of poetry.
		Yet whatever her motive for publication and however successful or unsuccessful she might have been, she was clearly confident enough in her abilities to publish a second volume, and that confidence might have been justified.
		As Constable told F.M.A. in the letter rejecting her volume of poems, the "great and leading features" that attract readers "are strong and powerful delineations of national Customs and manners" (f.486).
