Among the interesting relics are a chair made from the rafters of the house in which Wallace was betrayed, Rob Roy's pistol, and the key of the old Tolbooth of Edinburgh.
I was conducted through the rooms opened to visitors by a very gentlemanly-looking man, who might be taken for an author himself, from his intellectual appearance and conversation.

The library is the largest of all the apartments--fifty feet by sixty.

Nor is it too large for the collection of books it contains, which numbers about 20,000 volumes, many of them very rare and valuable.

But the soul-centre of the building to me was the _study_, opening into the library.

There is the small writing-table, and there is the plain armchair in which he sat by it and worked out those creations of fancy which have excited such interest through the world.
