Note 142 — Chapter XX · PALINGENESIA

Don Juan, Canto II. lxv. It is only fair to add that Scott also, at the time of his financial distress, embittered by the harsh treatment which he experienced at the hands of his Jewish creditors, Abud and Son, expressed himself in very strong terms concerning “the vagabond stock-jobbing Jews” in general, and the Abuds in particular. See Scott’s Diary under dates Nov. 25, 1825, and Oct. 9, 1826, in J. G. Lockhart, Life of Sir W. Scott, Ch. lxv. and lxxi.
