This article adds to our knowledge of the publishing history of James Hogg's most famous novel by examining a reader's report in the archives of the publishing house of Macmillan. It discusses the role played by the novelist S.R. Crockett in attempting to republish Hogg's novel in 1895, and examines the reasons behind Macmillan's decision to reject the work.
