James Grant was a Scottish novelist, who wrote fifty-six novels. A quick succession of incidents, much vivacity of style, and a dialogue that seldom flags characterise all of them.

Quotes by James Grant (?)

“Though the continued march of intellect and education have nearly obliterated from the mind of the Scots a belief in the marvelous, still a love of the supernatural lingers among the more mountainous districts of the northern kingdom; for 'the Schoolmaster' finds it no easy task, even when aided by all the light of science, to uproot the prejudices of more than two thousand years.
