This book, Refutation of the Mistatements and Calumnies Contained in Mr. Lockhart's Life of Sir Walter Scott, Respecting the Messrs. Ballantyne, published in 1838, is a direct response to inaccuracies and slanderous claims made by John Gibson Lockhart in his biography of Sir Walter Scott. Authored by John Alexander Ballantyne and Ballantyne & Company, the book serves as a detailed and impassioned defense of the Ballantyne brothers' reputation and their involvement in Scott's publishing ventures.
It offers invaluable insight into the complex relationships and financial dealings that characterized the early 19th-century literary world, shedding light on the personal and professional lives of key figures. This refutation provides a crucial counter-narrative to Lockhart's account, offering readers a more balanced perspective on a pivotal chapter in literary and publishing history. This makes it an essential read for scholars and enthusiasts interested in Sir Walter Scott, biography, and the history of publishing.
