POPULAR NOVELS A CENTURY AGO. John Gall, who was horn at ir- viiie iti Ayrshire, on May 2, 1779.

By that time. of course, Scott liatl brought “Scotch novels" into fash- inn, and Gait probably benefited by what we should call the "boom" in them. At all events, he won a con- siderable public, which was lead by the appearance of his inaierpiece.
