Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Tranent in the Olden Time Upon that monstrous mud-heap called The Mound, Which helps to join Edina old and new, But spoils a very pretty piece of ground, And in the lovely vale obstructs the view; And where Fine Art the blunder to increase Has placed two buildings in the style of Greece, There stood a Gael named Alastair MacCraw, Who, by a quarry-shot was rendered blind, And he, attention to his case to draw, A barrel-organ all day long did grind; And many when they saw his eye-balls dim Pitied and gave a coin, - but not to him! For close beside him stood a crafty jade Who as his lawful help-mate tried to look, And whilst the Gael the weary organ played The spurious wife the coppers quietly took; And grateful glances on the givers cast; - But this impostor was found out at last. How many authors is like that Gael we find, Who even when the public ear they gain, To tricks of trade and worldly cunning blind Employ their mental organs all in vain; Who labour hard, but still make little of it, For some sharp publisher takes all the profit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tendring Hundred in the Olden Time: A Series of Sketches It has been no secret in the Tendring Hundred that the writer of the following Sketches has for some years past written a variety of papers upon sporting and other matters; many of them described as "In" and "Out of the Saddle." The "Tendring Hundred" Papers were commenced for a few "Out-of-the-Saddle" Sketches; but as they proceeded in a serial form, so many communications were received, and so much interest seemed to be excited by them, that the writer was induced to extend his researches, and go far deeper into the subject than he originally intended. And now, at the particular request of many friends, he has enlarged the Sketches, added notes, and brought down particulars of several families to a later date, for publication in the present form. In the first Sketch issued he stated that he should not confine himself to any particular or classified form of procedure, but should fix his "meets" at the best authorities, and make the running as the scent might carry him. He has not, therefore, taken the parishes alphabetically, but just as they seemed best to illustrate any particular custom, old form of tenure, or any other point of ancient history that he had in hand, or desired to illustrate.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Leading Poets of Scotland From Early Times: Illustrated Some of the sketches are brief, and some of the metrical extracts are of necessity short, or the volume would have grown far beyond the dimensions originally purposed. But we venture to believe the biographies will be found reliable, and the poems such as will offer a fair sample of the authors' style and quality. A popular edition of the Poets of Scotland was not to be had in a cheap form when this edition was first advertised, but two or three have since been announced. Literature has made rapid progress during the past forty or fifty years, and to be um acquainted with the lives and writings of our poets is now considered almost a culpable fault.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Geography and Travel-Sketches More years ago than either of us cares to recall, we were both, in the same dismal autumn for us, sent wandering from our native land in Scotland to the ends of the earth. I remember that each com miserated the other because of that doctor's-doom in which we both, being young and foolish, believed. Since then we have sailed many seas and traversed many lands, and I, at least, have the wayfaring fever too strong upon me ever to be cured now. At times, however, one not only returns to one's own country, but to the familiar lands of Literary Geography, where, since we were boys, we have so often fared with never-failing gladness and content. Some of these wayfarings, set in the steadfastness of print, are now chronicled in this book; and to whom better could I dedicate it than to ou, who are at once editorially its godfather and t e old-time and valued friend of.
