Strana 60 - Large vessels, then called Buckers, lugger-rigged, carrying twenty, and some thirty, guns, were in the habit of landing their cargoes in the Bay of Ballantrae, while a hundred Lintowers, some of them armed with cutlass and pistol, might have been seen waiting, with their horses ready to receive them, to convey the goods by unfrequented paths through the country, and even to Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Strana 54 - In addition to the books I commissioned in my last, I want very much, An Index to the Excise Laws, or an Abridgement of all the Statutes now in force, relative to the Excise...
Strana 103 - But haply, in some cottage far apart, May hear, well pleased, the language of the soul. And in his book of life the inmates poor enrol.
Strana 45 - And wi' a rung decide it. Be Britain still to Britain true, Amang oursel's united ; For never but by British hands Maun British wrangs be righted ! For never, &c. The kettle o' the Kirk and State, Perhaps a clout may fail in 't ; But deil a foreign tinkler loun Shall ever ca
