[Columba Knox]

Howdy,

O, Historical + Literature = Scottish

"...that the historical habit rules in Scottish Literature, in all its higher and more imaginative work..."

And so declared the Author of the Book SCOTTISH LITERATURE --- CHARACTER AND INFLUENCE

We cannot think of the Dallases or MacCallums
being attracted to the Bruce or the Wallace or "Davie Lindsay"
for any other reason than
the comfortable history of stalwart doings against Englishmen and priests



the comfortable history of stalwart doings against Englishmen and priests

the comfortable history of stalwart doings against Englishmen and priests

the comfortable history of stalwart doings against Englishmen and priests


A Y E


Sincerely, Indeed,
COLUMBA KNOX

"'WE owe to him, as a people,'"
said on the memorable occasion
when the "Great Unknown" was
compelled to confess of his authorship of the Waverelie Novels,
"'a large and heavy debt of gratitude.
He it is who has opened to foreigners
the grand and characteristic beauties of our countrie.
It is to him that we owe that our gallant ancestors
and illustrious patriots have obtained a fame no longer
confined to the boundaries of a remote and
comparativelie obscure countrie.'"
