* LOCKHAHT. 878 LOCKROY. satirical description of Edinburgh society. In 1818 he had made the acquaintance of Sir Walter Scott, wliose daughter Sophia he married in 1820. Four novels now followed: alciius, a Roman tale, placed in the time of Trajan ( 1821 ) ; Adam Jllair (1822); Wrfiiiwld Dallun (1823); and Matthew ^'a^d (1824). Adum liluir is a powerful story on the theme to be treated later by Hawtliorne in The Scarlet Letter. In 1825 Loekhart became editor of the Quarterly I'evieif, and in 1843 auditor of the Duchy of Lancaster. In the interval lie wrote lAfe of Hums (1828) ; History of apoleon (1832); and the work by which he is best known, the Life of Hcolt (1S3G- 38). After HoswcU's Johnson, this is the most admirable biography in tl)e Knglish language. IxK'khart's last years were sadilcnod by domestic troubles, lie retired from the Quarterly (18.53), resigned the auditorship of Lancaster (1854), and died at Abbolsford, November 25, 1854.

An infectious bacterial disease. Sec 'IViAM s. LOCKOUT. The withdrawal of employment from a body of men who refuse to accede to the employer's conditions. The lockout is usually <listingiished from the strike on the ground that in the lockout it is the employer who directly causes the stoppage of operations, while in the strike the initiative lies with the men. The dis- tinction is wholly superficial, since the .workers, by demands that seem to the employer luircason- able, may really be responsible for the lockout, just as the employer, by the imposition of oner- ous conditions, may force a strike. For this reason most students of the labor ]iroblem are convinced that no purpose is served by the dis- tinction which is usually drawn between the two phenomena. For statistics of lockouts, see Strikes. Consult Report of the Industrial Com- mission, vol. xvii. (Washington, 1001). LOCK'PORT. A city and the county-scat of Niajrara Cnunty. X.
