For many years John Galt's chief ambition was to be a dramatist, and to dramatic composition he returned after he had attained a prominent place in other fields. His plays are now not easily accessible, and are read today only by the close student of the history of English drama. And yet Galt achieved through them something more than what he himself calls “that respectable degree of mediocrity which the world, without repining, soon forgets.” Galt is otherwise immortal as the author of a unique gem of English prose, The Annals of the Parish, to mention only this work from his sixty-odd volumes of fiction, poetry, biography, history, travel, and political and economic writings. Besides, he is deserving of fame as one of the great Empire-builders.
