Probably not quite as good as Annals of the Parish, but still a pretty amusing tale of rural Scotland. This edition is the unexpurgated version using Galt's manuscript, not the toned-down version that was first published. (Not that there's all that much in here that's even remotely risque by today's standards).
bankrupt lord's friends help him marry heiress and retire to city, satirical, written 1836
