Built on very open gravel and sand, it has an exceedingly dry foundation. In none of the houses is anything like damp known; all the rain that falls runs off immediately, or vanishes in the ground. There are no dead pools or marshes in its vicinity; and the rivers on both sides remove from the town all liquid matter calculated to prove offensive. Unfortunately, however, this species of drainage is tending to pollute the hitherto pure and wholesome streams about Peebles. Eddleston Water, in particular, is beginning to be offensive during droughts in summer, and may seriously deteriorate the salubrity of the town. A remedy for this evil cannot be too soon applied. Not the least valuable of the attractions of Peebles are the numerous walks by river-side, hill, and bosky glen--open to all to roam about at pleasure. Nor will strangers who go to reside in the town or its neighbourhood, and whose means and aims are moderate, have any reason to find fault with the manners of the settled inhabitants. There is much social intercourse in an inexpensive way. The intemperance of the 'good old times' is greatly assuaged; and one hears much less frequently of 'Peebles arms, ' as three tumblers used to be facetiously called, than was the case fifty years ago. PEEBLES--PARISH. OCCUPYING the central part of the county, this parish extends about ten miles from north to south, and five miles from east to west, and contains a superficies of 18,210 acres. A hilly part of the parish in the south is included in Selkirkshire. Beginning near Cringletie, the parish comprises the lower part of the valley of Eddleston Water, then a section of the vale of Tweed above and below Peebles, and lastly the stretch of level fertile land..

Book excerpt: "The last great work of the age of reason, the final instance when all human knowledge could be presented with a single point of view ... Unabashed optimism, and unabashed racism, pervades many entries in the 11th, and provide its defining characteristics ... Despite its occasional ugliness, the reputation of the 11th persists today because of the staggering depth of knowledge contained with its volumes.
