Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Bibliographical, Antiquarian and Picturesque Tour in the Northern Counties of England and in Scotland, Vol. 2 We were now then at Dumfries. During and after dinner, I made attacks upon the whiskey in every possible direction: with and without aqueous dilu tion - with and without saccharine infusion: but to no purpose. Disguise thyself as thou wilt, still, whiskey, still thou art a bitter draught. With or without sugar, or water - hot or cold - still thou art brimstone and fire to-day, and fire and brimstone to-morrow. As it was my first, so it was my last, experiment upon this generally seductive liquor with the Scotch. In the everlasting toddgj-potations at Glasgow, I could never be brought to hear my part in brandishing a ladle or emptying a rummer. Even its infusion into the plmc/z-bowl there, though that how] came fresh and foaming from the cunning hand of the good Joseph Hunter, Esq. - even then, Substitute slavery for whiskey, and the quotation is from Sterne. They place very small bottles or decanters of this liquor by the side of a glass, before you; and I believe sixpence will supply you with a portion sufficient to make your head ache for a week. It is poetically called mountain new! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Nothing exalts the dignity of a mountain fo much, as it's rifing from the water's edge. In meafuring it, as it appears connected with the ground, the eye knows not where to begin, but continues creeping up in quelt of a bath, till half the mountain is loft. But a water-line prevents this am biguity 5 and to the height of the mountain even adds the edging at the bottom, which naturally belongs, not to It. Thus the moun tain of Doniquaick, - feen from the new Inn at Inverary, appears as if It rofe from the water's edge, tho in fact the duke of Argyle's lawn intervenes, all which the mountain ap propriates: and tho it meafures only eight hundred and thirty - five feet, it has a more refpee'cable appearance, than many mountains Of twiceit's height unconnected with, water.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scottish Antiquary, or Northern Notes and Queries, Vol. 12: July, 1897 April, 1898 In 1563 the Bishop finally returned to Scotland, where he became a supporter of the Reformers, though the date when he turned Protestant does not seem certain. When the death of the Regent Moray in 1570 opened that office to Lennox, his brother shared the spoils, and became Commendator of the Priory of St. Andrews, still continuing, however, to hold the designation of Bishop of Caithness and to draw the revenues without discharging any of the duties of the See. Almost the solitary Episcopal act with which he is credited was that in 1571 he joined with John Spottiswoode, the Superintendent of Lothian, and David Lindsay, Minister of Leith, afterwards Tulchan Bishop of Ross, in the consecration of John Douglas, Morton's Tulchan Archbishop of St. Andrews.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Journal of Travels in England, Holland and Scotland, and of Two Passages Over the Atlantic, 1820, Vol. 2 July 6. - I do not mean often to trouble you with my peculiar employments, but a circumstance of some interest has grown out of them, which I shall now take the liberty of mentioning. I pass three or four hours, every morning, in professional pursuits, with able masters, and a part of that time I employ with Mr. Accum, one of the best practical chemists in this country; my object is to repeat in his laboratory, and with his assistance, such chemical operations as are more particularly difficult and critical. Of late, I have found myself growing very unwell, and with a train of symptoms which affected me in a manner quite novel: an insupportable languor has, for several days, pervaded my limbs, and rendered every exertion painful; while an extremely disordered stomach has deprived me equally of the power and the disposition to receive any support from food.
