Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Proverbs, Proverbial Expressions, and Popular Rhymes of Scotland: Collected and Arranged, With Introduction, Notes and Parallel Phrases It is now nearly nine years since I first began to collect materials relating to the proverbs, proverbial expressions, and popular rhymes of Scotland. During a somewhat erratic course of reading, persistently pursued for many years, I came across quite a number of curious sayings not only in books and magazines, but also in daily and weekly newspapers, and it is somewhat remarkable that many of the rarest, and most precious gems were discovered in singularly primitive journals, published in quiet, quaint old world burgh towns. But not only was I attracted by the sayings themselves, I was over and over again intensely interested in reading the stories of their origin, or the historical, social, humorous, or pathetic incidents with which many of them have become associated. Indeed, what may be called the secondary, or subsidiary incidents are in many cases more interesting, and important than the original sayings. The well known, and frequently quoted proverb, "The mair mischief the better sport" is given in most of the previous collections, but there is a story connected with it which is related in none of them. On the day appointed for the execution of Lord Lovat, of the '45, when the guards entered his cell to conduct him to the place of execution, they informed his Lordship, that the platforms erected to give the public a good view of the gruesome procession to Tower Hill had collapsed, causing the death of several persons. "Weel, weel," grimly replied the doomed nobleman, "the mair mischief the better sport." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
