Excerpt from Scottish Life and Humor

I am almost afraid to mention And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, the matter being so voluminous. Some score. Of times it appears as pit oot that dug, another score of times, perhaps, as Sandy, turn up the gas, etc., etc.

Excerpt from Scottish Life and Humor

"Cauld kail het aain is aye pat tasted." A worthy old lady adds "Cauld kail het, humph! tastes as if the dishcloot had been boiled in it." Knowing that the flavour of that necessary though despised article of kitchen use cannot be eradicated from every page, I yet hope to provide some tasty and substantial farin' from the wealth of good things that abound, and which are discovered through following the proverbial Scotchman's advice to his son, when about to emigrate - "Aye be speirin'."

The most successful book dealing with Scottish life and character has been Dean Ramsay's "Reminiscences," first given as a lecture in 1857, and then published in book form. "The Laird of Logan," "Thistledown," and quite a crowd of others have been devoted to the recording of humorous Scottish sayings, etc., and the weekly newspapers are always giving to the world some new Scottish "joke," which in due course is trotted out by some minister at a soiree, and compels another non-original remark - "There is nothing new under the sun!"
