Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Scottish Highlanders and the Land Laws: An Historico-Economical Enquiry Some thirty years ago or more, when spending my summer holidays among the breezy Bens of dear old Scotland at Braemar, with the full cup of joy which on these occasions was poured into my soul, one drop of bitterness was mingled - the tear of sorrow for the misfortunes and maltreatment of our brave Highland people written visibly on the face of that beautiful country. Wherever I turned my foot in my lonely wanderings up the straths and through the glens, I came on the ruins of cottages where once happy families dwelt, whose sons and daughters, brought up in an atmosphere of moral and physical health exceptionally good, had through long generations contributed in a remarkable degree to the glory of the British name abroad, and the comfort of domestic life at home; now, as by the passing wing of destroying angel, they had all been swept away, leaving nothing behind but dreariness and desolation.
