This was in 1S21, and after five years' busy writing Gait went to Canada in charge of a great scheme of colonisation and commerce called the Canada Company. This, after fair prospects, broke down com- pletely. He came back again, wrote hard, and schemed inces- santly. But fortune was not kind to him ; and he died, in a way a broken man, at Greenock on nth April 1839.
Gait, though with some of the national characteristics which have not always made Scotchmen popular, appears to have been a perso
...n of worth and amiability. He got on well with Byron, a very uncommon thing ; and from Carlyle, whom he met when they were both on the staff of Fraser, he receives unwontedly amiable notice. His literary production was vast and totally uncritical ; his poems, dramas, etc., being admittedly worthless, his miscellaneous writing mostly book-making, while his historical novels are given up by all but devotees. He had, however, a special walk — the delineation of the small humours and ways of his native town and county — in which, if not exactly supreme, he has seldom been equalled.
