A 15-page pamphlet, entitled Religion. Its Permanent Substance and Transitory Forms, was printed in 1895 by F. W. Baltes and Company. It was first delivered as an address at a Thanksgiving service at the First Baptist Church of Portland on November 29, 1895, and again in indication of his precision in such matters the title page said: "Published By Request."
Religion, Theology and Morals, in two volumes with a total of 854 pages, preceded by seven years the six-volume collection on Oregon history. The work consists of editorial articles and public lectures selected by his son, Leslie M. Scott, and printed at The Riverside Press, Cambridge, in 1917. It was in a limited edition of 1000 copies and sold at $5. That such a quantity of writing of this character should have come from his pen is explained by Dr. Joseph Schafer, who said of him: "Scott, in his editorial policy, dealt with things of the spirit more, perhaps, than any other editor of a secular newspaper."
Another pamphlet, of 26 pages, The Pioneer Character of Oregon Progress, was printed by the Ivy Press, Portland, in 1918, eight years after his death. It appeared originally in the Oregon Historical Quarterly and is a compilation of two addresses, one article and five editorials.
Shakespeare, a small book of 160 pages, printed at The Riverside Press in 1928, consists of "Commentaries, most of which are reprinted from the editorial pages of the Oregonian." It also did not have a wide circulation.
