The Author of Waverley has heard it objected to this novel that in the character of Callum Beg, and in the account given by the Baron of Bradwardine of the petty trespasses of the Highlanders upon trifling articles of property, he has borne hard, and unjustly so, upon their national character.
Thomas Scott seemed at first very well disposed to embrace the proposal, and had even fixed on a subject and a hero.
The Baron of Bradwardine, for he was generally so called in Scotland (although his intimates, from his place of residence, used to denominate him Tully-Veolan, or more familiarly, Tully), no sooner stood _rectus in curi,_ then he posted down to pay his respects and make his acknowledgments at Waverley-Honour.
