About this time Hogg took possession of Altrive Lake, and some of his friends in Edinburgh set on foot a sub- scription edition of his Queen's Wake (at a guinea each copy), in the hope of thus raising a sum adequate to the stocking of the little farm. - The following letter alludes to this affair; and also to the death of Frances, Lady Douglas, sister to Duke Henry of Buccleuch, whose early kindness to Scott has been more than once mentioned.
TO THE BIGHT HON. LOBD MONTAGU.
Abbotsfobd, June 8, ...1817.
My dear Lord, — I am honored with your letter, and will not fail to take care that the Shepherd profits by your kind intentions, and those of Lady Montag^.
lliis is a scheme which I did not devise, for I fear it will end in disappointment, but for which I have done, and will do, all I possibly can. There is an old saying of the seamen's, *^ Every man is not bom to be a boatswain,'* and I think I have heard of men bom under a sixpenny planet, and doomed never to be worth a groat. I fear something of this vile sixpenny influence had gleamed in at the cottage window when poor Hogg first came squeaking into the world.
