Ferrier, Susan Edmonstone (1782–1854), a friend of Sir W. Scott, was the successful authoress of three good novels of Scottish life: Marriage (1818), The Inheritance (1824), and Destiny (1831). Her object was avowedly to instruct, particularly on the subject of marriage, but her method lies in shrewd observation and comedy.
