Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Old Edinburgh My object was to compare a certain section of Edinburgh, both by day and night, with a similar area in the city before alluded to. In company with two philanthropic gentlemen, who did not hesitate to expose these social plague-spots, and guided in one mysterious locality by one of the lieutenants of police, I explored at various times several closes in the High Street, Cowgate, and West Port, going by house-row. In all cases the people were civil and willing to admit us, and few allowed us to depart without expressing a hope that some good would come out of the efforts proposed to be made for them. In many houses only the children were at home, but they answered our questions with such quick comprehension and painfully precocious intelligence that we were not left in doubt as to the circumstances of their parents. It was a dry, warm morning. N 0 rain had fallen for some weeks. There was a rumour of cholera on the Rhine, and under its salutary influence various sanitary precautions, such as lime washing closes and stairs, had been recently resorted to. The district might have looked cheerful had cheerfulness been possible, so great was the contrast between its aspect now and its look on a wet, murky, autumn day. The appearance of the lower part of the High Street was as little pleasant as usual. Knots of men who never seem to move on stared at the passers-by on the South Bridge, bold girls lounged about and chafied the soldiers, careworn women, and little girls hardly less careworn, stood round the well with their pails - some of the last, we learned, having stood there for two and three hours. There were dirty little children as usual rolling in the gutter or sitting stolidly on the kerb-stone; as usual, haggard, wrinkled, vicious faces were looking out of the dusty win dows above, and an air of joylessness, weariness, and struggle hung over all. Truly has this street been named the Via Dolorosa. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Edinburgh written by Herbert Maxwell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edinburgh: A Historical Study IT was told of the devoted and thoroughly compe tent secretary of a certain Antiquarian Society that, when he retired on a pension earned by his long service, he ceased to show any interest in archaeology. When a friend expressed surprise that he should so completely have abandoned the study which had absorbed the energy of his active years, he replied: Well, I have had more than my share of it, and now I wish to God there were nothing older in the world than a new-laid egg! If, as is not improbable, the reader should find in the following pages more of a dead past than is to his taste, it will be fortunate for the author if impatience finds no sharper expression than by a sen tence, I think, in one of Lord Morley's books, to the effect that he did not in the least want to know what had happened in the past, except as it enabled him to see more clearly through what was happening in the present. So it is with the ancient capital of Scotland. To enter into the Spirit of the place as a Visitor - to love it intelligently as a citizen thereof - some know ledge of its chequered past is essential.

That is what we should expect, not only because this was the most general origin of towns in early days, but still more because of the natural position of Edin burgh.
