Sinopsis
Excerpt from Some Hidden Sources of Fiction: A Paper Read Before the Historical Society of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania
The gifted author of The Seats of the Mighty has not spoiled the story of Major Robert Stobo. He has bor rowed the real hero's coat for his fictitious character, Captain Robert Moray, to masquerade in, and has at the same time put a new nap upon it. But how graceful and fair it would have been, if the author of this admirable story, in his Prefatory Note, along with the kind acknowledgments made to his Canadian friends, had mentioned Mr. Craig's little book and the British Museum Manuscript.

Excerpt from Some Hidden Sources of Fiction: A Paper Read Before the Historical Society of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania
Mere tombstone information is neither a valuable nor a desirable acquisition. Familiarity with history benefits us only by increasing our knowledge of human nature, furnishing us with examples of character to be emulated or avoided and enabling us, from experience of the past, to predict the probable consequences of present conduct.
The well-written historical novel has attained deserved popularity because, while faithful in the portrayal of important historical characters and in the description of well-known historical events, the author changes what to many is a repulsive skeleton into a thing of life and blood, by introducing minor personages and events, partly or wholly fictitious, in order to show the customs, habits, costumes, dialect and spirit of times with which the average reader cannot be familiar. Thus it happens that all the valuable lessons of history are sometimes conveyed to our minds by works which are largely fiction.
In order to acquire correct surroundings, atmosphere and colloquial expressions for his fictitious characters, the author of a historical novel must have in mind real persons, who involuntarily serve as models for the creatures of his imagination.
