Excerpt from Borderland Studies
OF the following Sketches, Children of Boreas and Upon the Advantage of being a Scot, appeared in Mr. Greenwood's Anti-7acabe'n, Our Village, and With the North Countrie Methodics, in the National Observer, while of the Tales The Elder of North Quay is but the second name, to use an old Quaker term, of The Pearl of Hafiz, which appeared in the pages of the Gentleman's Magazine. The Author here desires to express his thanks to the editors of the above periodicals for their courteous permission to reprint these articles. The remainder of the volume consists of fresh matter.
And now, lest the reader should shrewdly suspect the Author of endeavouring, under a specious title, to fobb off, like the tricksy auctioneer, an odd lot of articles upon his credulity, a few words may perhaps be permitted concerning the Genesis of the book.
