Excerpt from Sheep-Head and Trotters, Being Savoury Selections, Poetic and Prosaic, From the Bulky Literary Remains of Samuel Mucklebackit and Thomas Pintail, Late Parnassian Hill and Arable Farmers in LothianThe cause of the publication of this volume was simply the fact that the editions of my former books had given out before the demand for copies of them had abated. After a fresh publication had finally been determined upon, at first it was intended merely to put out a new edition of my last work - Lays and Letters from Linton, but upon consideration this plan was discarded, and a brief selection from the whole writings of Mucklebackit and Pintail decided on instead of it - the selection in question to include fresh subject matter, and be revised and amended up to date.The Editor would fain humbly suggest that neither Mucklebackit nor any other character pourtrayed in the following pages should for one moment be wholly confounded with himself. For every one of the persons represented, and nearly every incident related in the book are true - vie, were drawn from real life, and were actual people and occurrences which at one time or another came within the writer's personal cognizance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
