Excerpt from The History of Dundee, From Its Origin to the Present Time: With a Copious Appendix, Containing a Translation of the Charter Given by Charles I, Charter of Confirmation of the Rights and Privileges of the Guildry, Including the "Merchandis Letter," Ratification in Favour of the Burgh of Their Charters
The love of country, like the love of fame, a princi ple so far from dieing a subject for ridicule to exercise her ingenuity upon, forms an amiable feature in the character of the individual and indicates the pleasing possession of, at least, a portion of fine and honourable feeling. It is a sentiment that has operated with more or less force in every age and country, savage as well as civilised. What mighty deeds - what heroic actions.
