Excerpt from The Gaberlunzie's Wallet

Above thirty years have elapsed since "The Gaberlunzie's Wallet" was published, first in monthly parts, then in one volume. The book had a large circulation, run through several editions, and has for some time been out of print.

I feel, therefore, very much gratified that the present publishers offer the volume at a price which brings it within reach of all classes. The character and scenery described were faithfully depicted from nature, the incidents on which the narrative is chiefly founded were connected with an interesting period of Scottish history, and I fondly hope that many of the songs may continue to be appreciated as they have been by my countrymen in all parts of the world.
