Excerpt from The Humour of the Scot 'Neath Northern Lights and Southern CrossIn collecting the materials for a former book, Oor Ain Folk, I noted down from time to time many Scotch stories, which, although scarcely perhaps applicable to the more restricted scope and personal character of that volume, were yet, in my opinion, worthy of publication in some permanent record, as bearing on the always interesting story of the evolution and growth of any marked type of national character. Beyond a doubt the Scottish character is one of the most marked, yet most piquant and interesting, in the wide range of complex diversities that make up the sum total of our common humanity. It is trite, but true, that the study of individual character, and how that merges into the growth of national character, has always had a deep human interest, not only to the ordinary rank and file, but certainly to every thoughtful and observant man.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
