137- This is a review published in the Foreign Quarterly RevUw for 1828 on Auger's edition of "Moliire, " in nine volumes, published in Paris, 1819-27, and on Taschereau's " Histoire de la Vie et des Ouvrages de Moliire. " It gives an excellent epitome, vivaciously written, of the long series of works produced by the " prince of the writers of comedy. " Monastery, The. 2 vols. (1820) . . . Nov. Xviii. Andxix. The celebrated ruins of Melrose Abbey are the scene designated in the romance as the "... Monastery of St. Mary's of Kennaquhair and its depend- " encies. " The events are laid in 1559, etc. , in the time of Queen Elizabeth, and among the historical personages introduced are the Earl of Morton and the Earl of Murray, the bastard brother of the Queen. The attempted de- lineation of Euphuism in Sir Piercie Shafton and the unfortunate introduction of the supernatural machinery of the White Lady of Avenel injured the book, and it was probably the least successful of all Scott's novels. Instead of being accounted a well-drawn and humourous character of the period.
