The Provost

by John Galt

Published 8 November 1973
This masterpiece, "The Provost" by Galt consists of the historical views. Various important and interesting scenes and affairs are narrated in which the Provost had been personally engaged during his long magisterial life. Along with some important notes this is truly informative and engrossing!

First published in 1822, The Entail is Galt's most ambitious novel. This book is a horrifying study of obsession in which a Glasgow merchant victimizes his family members one by one. After Galt's death his publishers quietly modified the text. This edition restores the original text of 1822.
