Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edinburgh Revisited The text of this book is the impressions and opinions formed during a visit to Edinburgh in 1910 after a long stay in the South. Remembering R. L. Stevenson, Alexander Smith, and Robert Chambers, and in recent years the admirable and intimate works by Mr. John Geddie and Miss Rosaline Masson, the writer is aware of the audacity of writing a new book about Edinburgh. He would urge as his reasons why it should not be classed as a volume of the Superfluous Book Library, that during many hurried but extensive explorations through the interiors of the Old Town buildings, he acquired some idea of what relics of elegance and harmony really remain in the homes built for the Old Edinburgh gentry, and now tenanted by the very poor, and of the attitude of the present tenants towards these relics - a side of Edinburgh study which, so far as he knows, has not been dealt with except by a few references in architectural books and in the reports of Edinburgh's many charitable societies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edinburgh Past and Present The Picts and other Celtic tribes did not allow the Romans to possess their territory in peace. Until they withdrew entirely from the island, guerilla warfare was incessant. When the Romans retired, the Saxons advanced, and added the whole lowlands of Scotland, from the Tweed to the Forth - what had been the Roman province of Valentia - to their kingdom of Northumbria. About 617 ad, Edwin of Deira fortified the rock more elaborately than before, and gave his name to it, and to the burgh. Seventy years later, the Picts recovered possession, but were again beaten, and the place held by the Northumbrian Saxons till 956, when it finally became a part of Scotland. Edinburgh and its Castle were cradled in warfare, and the period in modern times during which they have been free from war's alarms is a very small epoch of their dual life.

Edgar's published maps were too small for the purpose; later and larger scaled surveys were not accurate enough; and at length it was determined to take the 1851 Ordnance Survey for the basis, and thus to secure accuracy, the earlier surveys of parts altered or cleared away being used to supplement and correct the later. The map thus constructed is over 75 feet long, but it has been reproduced on a reduced. Scale by Messrs. Bartholomew, so that it would not be too bulky for our volume, or unwieldy for the student.

Without going into nominalistic subtle ties, we are all aware, at least we ought to be, that belief in a narrative of bygone events is influenced by the words being taken for the things they represent, much in the same way as retinal images are taken for the objects that impress them. We neither hear the past events, nor do we see the present objects, and hence it is that our affections are called up by a good imitation, as well as by the reality. Even where there is nothing in nature for the words to represent, they still work their effect by something we might call verbal perception 5.
