Excerpt from The Poetical Works of John Struthers, Vol. 1: With Autobiography
The certain knowledge that no such person exists, and various notices, purporting to be biographical, which he has seen of himself, evidently written in ignorance or misapprehension, are the sole causes of his performing an act, which, he must acknowledge, has to him always appeared to carry something like folly or fatuity on the face of it. Autobiography, he confesses, has always been to his mind suggestive of the pillory in the market place, with all its dirty addenda - or of the witness box in the law courts, where the frosty frown of the judge is ready to freeze the word as it passes the teeth, and, if it reaches the lips, the prating advocate is at hand, with his subtle twaddling, to metamorphose it into a lie.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand.

His detailed recollections of Scottish country life in the late 18th Century provide a vivid glimpse into the social history and culture of the time. The author writes with a depth of feeling for the natural world and a keen eye for his surroundings, and his observations of the world around him explore themes such as religious hypocrisy, the importance of education, and the pursuit of art in the face of adversity. The book provides a unique insight into one man's experience of his time, and has become celebrated for its rustic charm.
