Excerpt: We understand that the Committee of the Bannatyne Club had the honour of dining with their President, Sir Walter Scott, on Thursday last. It is unnecessary to add, that they spent a delightful evening under the roof of the hospitable Baronet. -- Edinburgh Literary Gazette, July 9, 1823. II. -- TRANSACTIONS OF THE BANNATYNE CLUB. " Come lithe now, and listen, I pray, to my song, Sir Knight, whom Colossus we dub; It shall be, like an Archbishop's grace, never long, And my theme is the BANNATYNE CLUB! I shall shortly attempt, and a fig for the muse, In prose to depaint every feature aright; If it should be a daub, I will give no excuse; So I'll rush to my task, like the horse to the fight."« less
