Excerpt from Tales and SketchesUnquestionably my husband had a very strong sympathy with many points in the character of Burns. His thorough integrity, - his noble independence, which disdained to place his honest opinions at the mercy of any man or set of men, - his refusal to barter his avowal of the worth and dignity of man for the smiles and patronage of the great, even after he had tasted the sweets of their society, which is a very different matter from such avowal before that time, if any one will fairly think of it, - all this, with the acknowledged sovereignty of the greater genius, made an irresistible bond of brotherhood between Miller and Burns. But to the grosser traits of the poet's character my hus band's eyes were perfectly open; and grieved indeed should I be if it could for a moment be supposed that he lent the weight of his own purer moral character to the failings, and worse than failings, of the other. Over these he mourned, he grieved, - I believe he would at any time have given the life of his body for the life of his brother's soul. Above allhe deplored that the all-prevailing power of Christian love was never brought to bear on the heart of this greatest of Scotland's sons. If Thomas Chalmers had been in the place of Russell, who knows what might have been? But, doubtless, God in His providence had wise purposes to serve. It is often by such instruments that He scourges and purifies His Church. For, let us not forget, that scenes such as are depicted in the Holy Fair, however painful to our better feelings, were strictly and literally z'rue. This I have myself heard from an eye-witness, who could not have been swayed by any leanings towards the anti puritan side: and, doubtless, many others are aware of testimony on the same side of equal weight.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Foot-Prints of the Creator: Or, the Asterolepis of StromnessOf all the studies which relate to the material universe, there is none, perhaps, which appeals so powerfully to our senses, or which comes into such close and immediate contact with our wants and enjoyments, as that of Geology. In our hourly walks, whether on business or for pleasure, we tread with heedless step upon the apparently uninteresting objects which it embraces; but could we rightly interrogate the rounded pebble at our feet, it would read us an exciting chapter on the history of primeval times, and would tell us of the convulsions by which it was wrenched from its parent rock, and of the floods by which it was abraded and trans ported to its present humble locality. In our visit to the picturesque and the sublime in nature, we are brought into closer proximity to the more interesting phenomena of Geo logy. In the precipices which protect our rock-girt shores.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
