John Gibson Lockhart
John Gibson Lockhart (
Early years
He was born in the manse of
His mother, who was the daughter of the Rev. John Gibson, of
"Blackwood" magazine and his marriage
In 1813 he took a first class in classics in the final schools. For two years after leaving Oxford he lived chiefly in
He contributed to "Blackwood" many spirited translations of Spanish ballads, which in 1823 were published separately. In 1818 the brilliant and handsome young man attracted the notice of Sir
In 1820 John Scott, the editor of the "London Magazine", wrote a series of articles attacking the conduct of "Blackwood's Magazine", and making Lockhart chiefly responsible for its extravagances. A correspondence followed, in which a meeting between Lockhart and John Scott was proposed, with
Literary contributions
Between 1818 and 1825 Lockhart worked indefatigably. In 1819 "Peter's Letters to his Kinsfolk" appeared, and in 1822 he edited Peter Motteux's edition of "
He had now established his literary position, and, as the next heir to his unmarried half-brother's property in Scotland, Milton Lockhart, he was sufficiently independent, though he had abandoned the legal profession. In London he had great social success, and was recognized as a brilliant editor. He contributed largely to the "Quarterly Review" himself, his biographical articles being especially admirable. He showed the old, railing spirit in an amusing but violent article in the "Quarterly" on Tennyson's "Poems" of 1833, in which he failed to discover the mark of genius.

Murray's Family Library
He also undertook the superintendence of the series called "Murray's Family Library", which he opened in 1829 with a "History of Napoleon".
But his chief work was the "Life of
His later years
Lockhart's life was saddened by family bereavement, resulting in his own breakdown in health and spirits. His eldest boy (the suffering "Hugh Littlejohn" of Scott's "Tales of a Grandfather") died in 1831; Scott himself in 1832; Mrs Lockhart in 1837; and the surviving son, Walter Lockhart, in 1852. Resigning the editorship of the "Quarterly Review" in 1853, he spent the next winter in Rome, but returned to England without recovering his health; and being taken to Abbotsford by his daughter Charlotte, who had become Mrs
Lockhart's "Life" (2 vols., London and New York, 1897) was written by Andrew Lang. A.W. Pollard's edition of the "Life of Scott" (1900), is the best.
