Excerpt from James Hogg, the Ettrick ShepherdThe following speeches were delivered on the occasion of the unveiling of the Memorial erected to commemorate the birthplace of James Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd. The brief sketch of his life is appended mainly for the benefit of those who may not have had an opportunity of reading Thomson's "Life of the Poet, " or Mrs Garden's "Memorials of her Father." The publisher acknowledges his indebtedness to George Lewis & Co. for the excellent report of the proceedings published in the Southern Reporter, and to Nicholas Dickson, Esq., editor of the Border Magazine, for some of the illustrations.It may be interesting to note that the chair occupied by Lord Napier on the occasion of the unveiling of the monument was one of the Ettrick Shepherd's, and was lent by Mr Thomos Amos, Yarrow, whose mother was for a number of years a servant of Hogg.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
