Epigraph
Dedication
To
JOHN GALT, Esq.,
author of “The Annals Of The Parish,” “The Provost,” “The Ayrshire Legatees,” &c. &c. &c.
THE FOLLOWING SKETCHES
principally of humble Scottish character,
are dedicated,
by his sincere friend and admirer,
THE EDITOR.
First words
Having, within myself, made observation of late years, that all notable characters, whatsoever line of life they may have pursued, and to whatever business they might belong, have made a trade of committing to paper all the surprising occurrences and remarkable events that chanced to happen to them in the course of Providence, during their journey through life---that such as come after them might take warning and be benefited---I have found it incumbent on me, following a right example, to do the same thing; and have set down, in black and white, a good few uncos, that I should reckon will not soon be forgotten, provided they make as deep an impression on the world as they have done on me.
