Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago.

Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ballads and Songs of Ayrshire: Illustrated With Sketches, Historical, Traditional, Narrative and Biographical Merry Lads o' Ayr, Stewarton Lasses, Dumfries House, &c. He was an excellent player in his day-so much so that Lord Archibald Montgomerie, upon one occasion, laid a bet that he would get a blind man* in Ayr who would beat all the violin players in Edinburgh? Rid del had a small salary from all the gentlemen of any note in the county, at whose residences it was his duty to attend at stated periods, 'and as Often as he pleased or found it convenient during the rest of the year. He was never without a pupil, or an apprentice-l - for in these days the pupils were regularly apprenticed to their teacher, whom they styled Master and it was the duty Of the apprentice to accompany the master in all his excursions.' Amongst other pupils of Riddel was Weymis Gillespie another violer whose name deserves to be recorded. By this time Riddel had become very old, and dared not expose himself to rough weather or much fatigue. Gillespie, his pupil, had, upon one occasion, an engage ment at a carpenters' ball in Ayr, and, being a young man, his heart as well as his how was in the projected merry-making. Unfortunately, upon that very day, he was called by his master to attend him in a special visit to one of his country patrons. This, at first sight, seemed a death blow to Gillespie's diversion still he was determined not to forego the pleasure, if at all possible. We're gaun to hae a guid day, I think, said the Old blind master to his pupil, as he consulted him about their journey No very sure 0' that, master, said Gillespie, upon whose brain instant y flashed the idea of a stratagem which might emancipate him from his dilemma. Gi'e wa' out an' see; what the day looks like, rejoined the old man. Gillespie did as he was required; and, though the sun was clear and the sky bright, reported on returning that he was afraid it would overcast, as he saw certain ominous clouds gathering very rapidly. Rid del, at all times anxious to attend to the calls of his patrons, was unwil ling to remain at home, and repeatedly despatched Gillespie to asoer tain the state of the weather. Appearances always became worse with the apprentice, till at length he returned with the intelligence that it was an even-down pour! Old Riddel, somewhat dubious, was led to the door to satisfy himself of the fact. Gillespie, during hislast absence, had, with the assistance of a friend, so fastened a large birch broom, thoroughly soaked in water, over the lintel of the door, that the moment the oldman groped his way out the water fell upon his bare head like a shower bath. Richt eneuch, richt eneuch, Gillespie, we Canna ang in sic weather as this and so Old Riddel was satisfied, and Gi espie pre pared to enjoy the carpenter's ball in the evening.
