Rural Rhymes And Sketches In East Lothian

Excerpt from Rural Rhymes and Sketches in East Lothian But, indeed, if, in the long dreary fore-nights and other odd times in the solitudes of the country, these slight and rustic effusions should be found to yield my late compeers - the sons and daughters of the soil - a little desiderated entertainment of a mental or an amusing character, then for this, if for no other reason, I shall be heartily glad that my quondam lucubrations have been rescued from imme diate obscurity.
