General Walker, the "gray-eyed man of destiny," was the leading native filibuster, but foremost among the foreign adventurers the Dugald Dalgettys of that epoch who came here from unsuccessful revolutions abroad to seek employment for their swords, was General Heningen.
It is, however, a true discrimination which finds more of life and variety in Scott's principal women than in his men of like position. But his Rob Roys, Hatteraicks and Dalgettys justify all praise and help to explain that title of Wizard of the North which he won and wore. In nothing is Scott stronger than in his environments, his devices for atmosphere.
These are specimens of the adventurer bellicose, the Mike Lambournes and Dugald Dalgettys of the nineteenth century. Of a more calculating and ambitious class is the adventurer speculative, who possesses a Dousterswivel aptitude for discovering mines, devising railways, projecting canals, and the like undertakings.
