Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Old Edinburgh My object was to compare a certain section of Edinburgh, both by day and night, with a similar area in the city before alluded to. In company with two philanthropic gentlemen, who did not hesitate to expose these social plague-spots, and guided in one mysterious locality by one of the lieutenants of police, I explored at various times several closes in the High Street, Cowgate, and West Port, going by house-row. In all cases the people were civil and willing to admit us, and few allowed us to depart without expressing a hope that some good would come out of the efforts proposed to be made for them. In many houses only the children were at home, but they answered our questions with such quick comprehension and painfully precocious intelligence that we were not left in doubt as to the circumstances of their parents. It was a dry, warm morning. N 0 rain had fallen for some weeks. There was a rumour of cholera on the Rhine, and under its salutary influence various sanitary precautions, such as lime washing closes and stairs, had been recently resorted to. The district might have looked cheerful had cheerfulness been possible, so great was the contrast between its aspect now and its look on a wet, murky, autumn day. The appearance of the lower part of the High Street was as little pleasant as usual. Knots of men who never seem to move on stared at the passers-by on the South Bridge, bold girls lounged about and chafied the soldiers, careworn women, and little girls hardly less careworn, stood round the well with their pails - some of the last, we learned, having stood there for two and three hours. There were dirty little children as usual rolling in the gutter or sitting stolidly on the kerb-stone; as usual, haggard, wrinkled, vicious faces were looking out of the dusty win dows above, and an air of joylessness, weariness, and struggle hung over all. Truly has this street been named the Via Dolorosa. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The suggestion was then made that for the sake of visitors at Dunecht a sort Of guide book should be prepared, giving some simple description of the several Objects and their meaning and uses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Official Guide to Edinburgh Nor has Edinburgh lost any of these claims to the love of her children and the admiration of the stranger. On the contrary, the city, while seeking to preserve and cherish what is old and characteristic of the past history Ofthe place, has given constant evidence of being a living and growing organism. In the decade since the appear ance of the first Official Guide, Edinburgh has passed through the experiences of War and of Amalgamation. The citizens have witnessed scenes recalling, and sur passing in suspense and in danger, those enacted when the auld enemies from across the Border were at their gates. They have gathered at the call of patriotism, and have sacrificed their lives in thousands for the safety of the Empire. They have seen their public buildings turned into hospitals, and their industries into war factories. They have watched from their windows or their hilltops the Great Fleet go forth, or return to the shelter behind the Forth Bridge, on the successful mission of keeping the invaders from our shores. The Castle Rock itself can Show fresh battle scars mementoes of the air bombardment of April 1916, when, for the first time for nearly two centuries, war forced an entry, with new weapons and from a new direction, within the city limits.

Download or read book Edinburgh Sketches and Memories Classic Reprint written by David Masson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edinburgh Sketches and Memories On a clear day the inhabitants of Edinburgh, by merely ascending the Calton Hill or any other of the familiar heights in or around their city, can have a view of nearly the whole length of their noble estuary, the Firth of Forth. To the right or east, its entrance from the open sea, between the two shires of Fife and Haddington, is marked most conspicuously on the Haddingtonshire side by a distant conical mound, called Berwick Law, rising with peculiar distinctness from the northward curve of land which there bounds the horizon. It is thither that the eye is directed if it would watch the first appearance of steamers and ships from any part of the world that may be bound up the Firth for Edinburgh by its port of Leith. Moving thence westward, the eye can command easily the twenty miles more of the Firth which these ships and steamers have to traverse. The outlines of both shores, though the breadth between them averages twelve miles, may be traced with wonderful sharpness, pleasingly defined as they are by their little bays and promontories, and by the succession of towns and fishing villages with which they are studded.
