Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landmarks of Scottish Life and Language These pages have been written in the interests of truth, and with the view of strengthening the hands of its friends. So dominant is error, and so numerous its supporters, that it becomes the duty of every patriot to break its baleful power, Mg and help to establish in its stead a better state of things. If rt the bondaged mind is to be set free - if the conscience is to, be quickened - if sound knowledge is to be gained - there is a call to earnestness and effort which must not be disregarded. Every well-wisher of his fellow-men will respond to it, and what he gains for himself in so doing he will not be slow to Ocommunicate to others. The subjects embraced in this work are of singular interest to every Scotsman. They lie all around the heart and life of the nation, and touch at every point many of those questions which most deeply move humanity. Like all great subjects they are old subjects; but they have not on that account lost their vitality. They retain it still, and every exhibition of its action comes home to us with the added charm that it is the action of our forefathers prolonging itself throughout the ages. They are the vehicles which bear to us the living thoughts of the great and good who have come and gone; and when we open the doors of heart and mind to their entrance, we find that they give us light and truth indeed. The basis of the work has been laid in a searching observation and a severe induction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of Scottish Life: A Selection From the Papers of the Late Arthur Austin The Country all around rang with the beauty /of Amy Gordon and although it was not known who first bestowed upon her the appellation, yet now she bore no other than the Lily of Liddesdale. She was the on ly child of a shepherd, and herself a shepherdess. Never had she been out of the valley in which she was born; but many had come from the neighbour ing districts just to look upon her as she rested with her flock on the hill-side, as she issued smiling from her father's door, or sat inher serener loveliness in the kirk on Sabbath-day. Sometimes there are living be ings in nature as beautiful as in romance reality sur passes imagination and we see breathing, brighten ing, and moving before our eyes, sights dearer to our hearts than any we ever beheld in the land of sleep.

Download or read book Landmarks written by Robert Macfarlane and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2015-03-05 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED FOR THE SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE 2015 SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE 2016 Landmarks is Robert Macfarlane's joyous meditation on words, landscape and the relationship between the two. Words are grained into our landscapes, and landscapes are grained into our words. Landmarks is about the power of language to shape our sense of place. It is a field guide to the literature of nature, and a glossary containing thousands of remarkable words used in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales to describe land, nature and weather. Travelling from Cumbria to the Cairngorms, and exploring the landscapes of Roger Deakin, J. A. Baker, Nan Shepherd and others, Robert Macfarlane shows that language, well used, is a keen way of knowing landscape, and a vital means of coming to love it. Praise for Robert Macfarlane: 'He has a poet's eye and a prose style that will make many a novelist burn with envy' John Banville, Observer "I'll read anything Macfarlane writes" David Mitchell, Independent 'Every movement needs stars. In [Macfarlane] we surely have one, burning brighter with each book.' Telegraph '[Macfarlane] is a godfather of a cultural moment' Sunday Times

Download or read book Scotland written by Jenny Wormald and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-08-25 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scotland has long had a romantic appeal which has tended to be focused on a few over-dramatized personalities or events, notably Mary Queen of Scots, Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Highland Clearances - the failures and the sad - though more positively, William Wallace and Robert the Bruce have also got in on the act, because of their heroism in resisting English aggression. This has had its satisfaction, and has certainly been very good for the tourist industry. But, fuelled by the explosion of serious academic studies in the last half-century, there has grown up a keen desire for a better-informed and more satisfying understanding of the Scottish past - and not only in Scotland. The vague use of 'Britain' in books and television series which are in fact about England has begun to provoke adverse comment; there is clearly a growing desire for knowledge about the history of the non-English parts of the British Isles and Eire, already well established in Ireland and becoming increasingly obvious in Scotland and Wales. This book brings together a series of studies by well-established scholars of Scottish history, from Roman times until the present day, and makes the fruits of their research accessible to students and the general reader alike. It offers the opportunity to go beyond the old myths, legends, and romance to the much more rewarding knowledge of why Scotland was a remarkably successful, thriving, and important kingdom, of international renown.
