Scott, John (1783–1821), was the first editor, 1820–1, of the
London Magazine; he had by then edited
The Champion, and published
A Visit to Paris (1814) and
Paris Revisited (1816). He attracted a brilliant set of contributors; De Quincey's
Confessions of an Opium Eater,
Lamb's earlier ‘Elia’ essays, and much of
Hazlitt's Table-Talk first appeared in the
London Magazine, as well as work by
Keats,
Clare,
Hood,
Darley,
Carlyle,
Cunningham, and others. He came into conflict with
Blackwood's Magazine, detesting what he saw as its ‘scurrility’ and ‘duplicity and treachery’, and he felt obliged to defend his ‘
Cockney School’. His attacks on
Blackwood's, in particular on
Lockhart, led to a series of confusions which culminated in a duel with J. H. Christie, a close friend of Lockhart, in which Scott was killed.
