About this book
Anna Seward told Walter Scott this ghost story, and he set it down for The Keepsake of 1828, adding an introduction dated August 1831. Its central figure is a general officer, called Browne in the telling, who comes home after the American war with other officers of Cornwallis's army. Scott admits that tales of the marvellous work better spoken aloud by a fading light than in print. The volume pairs it with a second piece, "Death of the Laird's Jock".
