Antiquary, The, a novel by Sir W.
Scott, published 1816.
A gallant young officer, known as Major Neville, believed to be illegitimate, falls in love in England with Isabella Wardour who, deferring to the prejudices of her father, Sir Arthur Wardour, repulses him. Assuming the name of Lovel, he follows her to Scotland, meeting on the way Jonathan Oldbuck, laird of Monkbarns, a learned and garrulous antiquary and a neighbour of Sir Arthur. Lovel saves the lives of Sir Arthur and his daughter, and rescues Sir Arthur from the financial ruin brought upon him by the deceptions of the German charlatan Dousterswivel. Finally he turns out to be the son and heir of the Earl of Glenallan and marries Isabella. The charm of the book, Scott's ‘chief favourite among all his novels’, lies in the character of Oldbuck, based, according to Scott, on a friend of his boyhood, George Constable, but a recognizable portrait of Scott himself.
