Sir Walter Scott And Constable
Jests Home
SCOTT is known to have profited much by Constable's bibliographical
knowledge, which was very extensive. The latter christened Kenilworth,
which Scott named Cumnor Hall. John Ballantyne objected to the former
title, and told Constable the result would be something worthy of the
kennel; but the result proved the reverse. Mr. Cadell relates that
Constable's vanity boiled over so much at this time, on having his
suggestions gone into, that, in his high moods, he used to stalk up and
down his room, and exclaim, By Jove, I am all but the author of the
Waverley Novels!
