Excerpt from Oor Ain Folk: Being Memories of Manse Life in the Mearns and a Crack Aboot Auld TimesI little thought when I began my filial task, that I would ever be privileged to again visit the old glen and village, and see the old manse on the Braes o' Angus.' Still less did I anticipate such a compliment from the public as the demand for a new edition almost within a month of the publication of the book, yet, such a good fortune has befallen me, and I am very grateful. I am indeed conscious that my critics have been more than kind.' It was only to be expected that my boyish recollections of more than thirty years ago would be in some respects inaccurate, but I am pleased to find that my mistakes as to facts have been so few, and in the present edition I think the main portion of these has been corrected. As to errors of style, I doubt I am too old now to make much improvement and as to matters of opinion expressed in the book, I have seen no reason, so far at any rate, for me to give up my own.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
