This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scottish Life and Character in Anecdote and Story Scotland is proverbial -for its wit and humour, and the writer who seeks to illustrate Scottish character with stories drawn from the everyday life of the people is not likely to lament a lack of apposite material. Since Dean Ramsay issued his evergreen and unexcelled Remini scences many volumes on the subject have been published, but these, for the most part, are indiscriminate collections of jokes which, while they bear witness to the truth that Scotland is a land of humour, do little or nothing to illustrate native character. The present writer aims at supplementing the work of the genial Dean of Edinburgh rather than at following the col lectors of concocted witticisms. His endeavour is to illustrate the main features of our Scottish life, and he gives the anecdotes exactly as he found them - without comment or observation - leaving them to speak for themselves. The shrewdness, the wit, and the humour of the nation are treated in the volume which, the author hopes, will form a not-altogether valueless contribution to the literature of anecdote and story that pertains to the Land 0' Cakes, and will afford pleasure as well to the Scot at home as to the Scot abroad.

Download or read book Irish Life and Humour in Anecdote and Story Classic Reprint written by William Harvey and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Life and Humour in Anecdote and Story "Scottish Life and Character in Anecdote and Story" was received with so much favour, alike by press and public, that the author formed the idea of preparing a similar volume illustrative of the wit and humour so characteristic of the Land of the Shamrock. This has now been done, and the author hopes that the book will be as cordially welcomed as was the earlier work. In its preparation many volumes dealing with the subject have been laid under contribution. Newspaper and magazine articles have been drawn upon freely. Of his indebtedness to all these the author here makes due acknowledgment. His endeavour has been to illustrate the main features of Irish character, and as a general rule he has given the anecdotes exactly as he found them - without comment or observation - leaving them to speak for themselves. A notable feature of the book is the series of splendid illustrations in colour. The pictures are reproduced with remarkable fidelity from studies by the late Erskine Nicol, R.S.A., the Scottish painter, who was so eminently successful in his interpretation of Irish life and character. The author hopes that the volume - compiled by a Scot, and illustrated by a Scot - will give pleasure to Irishmen at home and abroad, as well as to many who cannot claim to have been born in the Emerald Isle.
