Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical and Traditional Tales: In Prose and Verse, Connected With the South of Scotland, Original and Select From the foregoing observations it will he gathered, that the Editor´s great object was to contribute to the illustration of Galloway in those particulars which are generally overlooked, or but slightly treated of in history - to exhibit our ancestors, not on days of state parade or on fields of strife, but in the privacy of their homes and their various social relations. The peasant, the farmer, and the laird will be found, each breathing his characteristic notions and prejudices, and living amongst the quaint customs of a by-gone race. Nor has the less moral portion of society been neglected in the portraiture. Offenders of every shade of guilt, from the hardened assassin to the scarcely criminal smuggler, are here presented, if not with the vigour of genius, at least with fidelity and truth.
