Writings
Scott's first novel, A Marriage in High Life (1828, 2 vols), was edited by the author of Flirtation: her relative, Lady Charlotte Susan Maria Bury. The plot was based on fact. The style is diffuse, but the interest well sustained. A French translation appeared in 1830. Another English edition appeared in 1857. Two other novels followed, likewise anonymously: Trevelyan, 1833, reprinted 1837 (Bentley's Standard Novels, No. 58) and 1860 (the Railway Library), and The Old Grey Church in 1856. Trevelyan appeared in a German translation in 1835. Lady Scott's succeeding, non-fiction works name her as author. They are Exposition of the Types and Antitypes of the Old and New Testament, 1856, Incentives to Bible Study; Scripture Acrostics; a Sabbath Pastime for Young People, 1860, and Acrostics, Historical, Geographical, and Biographical, 1863. Lady Scott was also a landscape painter.
