The Isle Of Unrest (dodo Press)

Hugh Stowell Scott (1862-1903) was a novelist under the pseudonym of Henry Seton Merriman. He was an underwriter in Lloyd's, but having a strong literary bent, latterly devoted himself to writing novels, many of which had great popularity. They include: The Slave of the Lamp (1892), The Sowers (generally considered his best) (1896), In Kedar's Tents (1897), Roden's Corner (1898), The Isle of Unrest (1900), The Velvet Glove (1901), The Vultures (1902), and Barlasch of the Guard (1903). He worked with great care, and his best books hold a high place in modern fiction. He was unusually modest and retiring in character. Amongst his other works are Young Mistley (1888), Suspense (1890), Prisoners and Captives (1891), From One Generation to Another (1892), With Edged Tools (1894), From Wisdom Court (1896), The Grey Lady (1897), Dross (1899), Barlasch of the Guard (1903) and The Last Hope (1904).
