Book Description

Excerpt from The Scottish Antiquary, or Northern Notes Queries, Vol. 15 The style in which he writes, as well as the length of his reminiscence, persuade us that he is an old man. But the extent to which he indulges in allusions to himself and his former works is probably due in part to the terms of familiar ity in which, as we gather also from him, he stood with the very young man to whom he was writing, and age has created in him no lack in energy, courage, or devotion.
