""Refutation Of The Misstatements And Calumnies Contained In Mr. Lockhart�������s Life Of Sir Walter Scott, Respecting The Messrs Ballantyne"" is a book written by John Alexander Ballantyne in 1838. The book aims to refute the claims made by Mr. Lockhart in his biography of Sir Walter Scott, specifically with regards to the Ballantyne brothers. The Ballantynes were printers and publishers who worked closely with Scott, and Lockhart's biography accused them of being responsible for Scott's financial troubles. Ballantyne's book provides evidence to counter these accusations and defend the reputation of the Ballantyne brothers. The book is written in a clear and concise style, and provides a detailed account of the relationship between Scott and the Ballantynes.
