Synopsis
Excerpt from The Riddle of the Ruthvens and Other Studies
For my subjects, I have followed perhaps too much the direction of my own taste, except in one instance suggested to me by Mr. Andrew Lang, and others may not deem my choice commendable. Necessarily they vary in interest and value, but as was well observed of them in this connection by a generous critic (now, alas! No more): I recognise of course that you can make your nosegay but of the flowers kindly Nature does suffer to meet your searching eye. The exception above noted is the paper on the Master of Sinclair, which further differs from its companions in that it is reprinted from the Scottish Historical Review, by courteous permission of the editor.
