He famously criticised Wordsworth and Coleridge and one review even lead to him meeting for a duel with Thomas Moore. He was not always a harsh critic however; he enjoyed Keats and Byron and towards the end of his life he became a great admirer and close friend of Charles Dickens.

He was well educated and had a successful career in law, which eventually led to his appointment as Lord Advocate of Scotland.Volume II (ISBN 1-904995-01-2) is also available.
