Note 180 — Chapter XXI · FREETHOUGHT IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY
Reading edition
Mr. Benn (Hist. of Eng. Rationalism, i, 226, 309 sq.) has some interesting discussions on Scott’s relation to religion, but does not take full account of biographical data and of Scott’s utterances outside of his novels. The truth probably is that Scott’s brain was one with “watertight compartments.” ↑
