Synopsis
Excerpt from The Modern Scottish Minstrel; Or, the Songs of Scotland of the Past Half Century, Vol. 5 of 6: With Memoirs of the Poets, and Sketches and Specimens in English Verse of the Most Celebrated Modern Gaelic Bards
But as trees and flowers can only grow and come to perfection In soils by nature appropriate to them, so it is manifest that all this rich and fertile growth of lyrics, of minstrelsy and music, could only spring up amongst a people most impressionable and joyous. I speak of the Lowland population, and especially of the Borderers.
