Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology of the Bass Rock The Bass stands in the mouth of the Frith of Forth, about a mile and a half from the shore. It is fully a mile in circumference. It is about 600 feet in total length, 420 above the surface of the sea. On the north it is lofty and precipitous. On the south it is somewhat conical, sloping moderately down to the base. Its superficies is guessed at seven acres. The Bass is inaccessible, save at one point, the south-east. At one time the fortification which commanded this point could be reached only by ladders, or a bucket and chains raised at the crane bastion; but afterwards the ascent was by three flights of stairs within the rampart, each protected by a strong gate; these inner gates have long ago disappeared. The fort and the dungeons are all unroofed and in ruins; Blackadder's Cell is still pointed out, with its three small iron-barred windows to the west, and awakens many a solemn sacred feeling. One solitary gun yet remains of the ancient defence, now much corroded; the few other cannon on the Bass were brought thither from Leith in 1822 to salute George IV. on his visit to Scotland. The king of Belgium visited the Bass in 1819. About half-way up the acclivity of the rock, a little below the old exposed garden, are the interesting remains of a chapel, pretty entire; the wells for the fonts show that it was built prior to the Reformation. When the Bass became the Bastile of Scotland, the state prison for the persecuted Covenanters, this chapel was desecrated by being made the ammunition magazine for the garrison. The Bass for many generations was the property of an ancient family styled Lauder of the Bass, one of whom is stated to have been a compatriot of Wallace.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edinburgh and Its Neighbourhood, Geological and Historical: With the Geology of the Bass Rock I have at length the melancholy satisfaction of presenting to the reader the last of that series of works fit for publication left upon my hands by my beloved husband. Four of these, it will be remembered, - viz. The Cruise of the Betsey; The Headship of Christ; Essays, Historical and Critical, with the last issued volume of Tales and Sketches, - were prepared for the press by his own hand, although not in a convenient or portable form, the first three having appeared in the columns of the Witness newspaper; the last, in Wilson's Tales of the Borders. The remaining two, which were left in manuscript, - Lectures on Popular Geology, and a portion of the present work on the Geology of Edinburgh and its Neighbourhood, - I have made it a sacred duty to give to the world, according to the repeatedly expressed intention of their author; and I have had the less hesitation in fulfilling this task, because all his manuscripts, especially those prepared for delivery before a popular audience, were written with the utmost care, and required no revision or addition, unless in the shape of an occasional note, where any late discovery rendered a modification or explanation of the sense necessary or desirable.
