of 21,000_l_.  But Mr. Cadell, the bookseller, has undertaken to pay 20,000_l._ for the publication of the remainder of his works, on the plan which had been so far proceeded in.  This will clear off all the claims.  A near relative of Lady Scott left 60,000_l._ to the children of Sir Walter, to which, of course, they are entitled; and the eldest son received a large fortune with his wife.  The public, therefore, are spared the pain of knowing that the family of one to whom they are so largely indebted, are left in a state of destitution.”—­We hope this statement is as correct as it is gratifying.
