I rank <i>The Entail</i> above <i>Private Memoirs and Confessions etc</i>, for what that's worth, but the Hogg novel is a heck of a book, and an interesting companion to the Calvinistic strain in Galt.<br /><br />Both are perfect for the upcoming "If It's Not Scottish, It's Crap Wuthering Expectations Single Malt Reading Stramash." <i>Stramash</i>, that's another word I learned from Galt. <i>Uproar; commotion</i>.Amateur Reader (Tom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675275555757408496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383938214852108244.post-42842469918461397612009-11-14T14:28:13.624-06:002009-11-14T14:28:13.624-06:00Just wanted to say I was directed to this discussi...Just wanted to say I was directed to this discussion from DG Myers' blog and have been fascinated.

They have Galt's biography of Benjamin West, for Pete's sake, but not <i>The Entail</i>. <br /><br />Whenever I can I use Gutenberg for quotations, to save on typing. So all quotations from <i>The Entail</i> were typed in by me.
