Concerning Some Scotch Surnames #246106

My Dear Lord Advocate,<br><br>This trifle was written at your desire, and you did me the honour to read it to an assembly of Scotch Notables at "Ulbster Hall," when I was myself unable to attend.<br><br>Having thus stood godfather to the young stranger, you will not object to your gossip sending it into the world under the protection of your name. If my production is a fault, 1 have at least the poor Frenchwoman's excuse, that it is a very little one.
