Description
Excerpt from Ranald Bannerman's Boyhood
If I did not mention that I, Ramald Bannerman, am a Scotchman, I should be found out before long by the kind of thing I have to tell; for although England and Scotland are in all essentials one, there are such dif ferences between them that one could tell at once, on opening his eyes, if he had been carried out of the ~o11e into the other during the night. I do not mean he might not be puzzled, but except there was an in tention to puzzle him by a skillful selection of place, the very, air, the very colors would tell him; or if he kept his eyes shut, his ears would tell him without his eyes. But I will not offend fastidious ears with any syllable of my rougher tongue. I will tell my story in English, and neither part of the country will like it the worse for that.
