Scott, Hugh Stowell
(1863?-1903)
   Novelist (under the name of Henry Seton Merriman).

They include The Slave of the Lamp (1892), The Sowers (generally considered his best) (1896), In Kedar's Tents (1897), Roden's Corner (1898), Isle of Unrest (1900), The Velvet Glove (1901), The Vultures (1902), and Barlasch of the Guard (1903).
