It Matters Not To Relate How Or When I Became A Denizen Of Dreamthorp; It Will Be Sufficient To Say That I Am Not A Born Native, But That I Came To Reside In It A Good While Ago Now. The Several Towns And Villages In Which, In My Time, I Have Pitched A Tent Did Not Please, For One Obscure Reason Or Another; This One Was Too Large, T'other Too Small; But When, On A Summer Evening About The Hour Of Eight, I First Beheld Dreamthorp, With Its Westward-Looking Windows Painted By Sunset, Its Children Playing In The Single Straggling Street, The Mothers Knitting At The Open Doors, The Fathers Standing About In Long White Blouses, Chatting Or Smoking; The Great Tower Of The Ruined Castle Rising High Into The Rosy Air, With A Whole Troop Of Swallows--By Distance Made As Small As Gnats--Skimming About Its Rents And Fissures;--When I First Beheld All This, I Felt Instinctively That My Knapsack Might Be Taken Off My Shoulders, That My Tired Feet Might Wander No More, That At Last, On The Planet, I Had Found A Home.

It Matters Not To Relate How Or When I Became A Denizen Of Dreamthorp; It Will Be Sufficient To Say That I Am Not A Born Native, But That I Came To Reside In It A Good While Ago Now. The Several Towns And Villages In Which, In My Time, I Have Pitched A Tent Did Not Please, For One Obscure Reason Or Another; This One Was Too Large, T'other Too Small; But When, On A Summer Evening About The Hour Of Eight, I First Beheld Dreamthorp, With Its Westward-Looking Windows Painted By Sunset, Its Children Playing In The Single Straggling Street, The Mothers Knitting At The Open Doors, The Fathers Standing About In Long White Blouses, Chatting Or Smoking; The Great Tower Of The Ruined Castle Rising High Into The Rosy Air, With A Whole Troop Of Swallows--By Distance Made As Small As Gnats--Skimming About Its Rents And Fissures;--When I First Beheld All This, I Felt Instinctively That My Knapsack Might Be Taken Off My Shoulders, That My Tired Feet Might Wander No More, That At Last, On The Planet, I Had Found A Home. From That Evening I Have Dwelt Here, And The Only Journey I Am Like Now To Make, Is The Very Inconsiderable One, So Far At Least As Distance Is Concerned, From The House In Which I Live To The Graveyard Beside The Ruined Castle. There, With The Former Inhabitants Of The Place, I Trust To Sleep Quietly Enough, And Nature Will Draw Over Our Heads Her Coverlet Of Green Sod, And Tenderly Tuck Us In, As A Mother Her Sleeping Ones, So That No Sound From The World Shall Ever Reach Us, And No Sorrow Trouble Us Any More.

Let-a-be this plain truth, another point of argument for my bringing out my bit book at the present time is, that I am here to the fore bodily, with the use of my seven senses, to give day and date to all such as venture to put on the misbelieving front of Sadducees, with regard to any of the accidents, mischances, marvellous escapes, and extraordinary businesses therein related; and to show them, as plain as the bool of a pint stoup, that each and every thing set down by me within its boards is just as true, as that a blind man needs not spectacles, or that my name is Mansie Wauch.

David Macbeth Moir (5 January 1798 – 6 July 1851) was a Scottish physician and writer. Moir was born at Musselburgh and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, taking his degree in 1816. Entering into partnership with a Musselburgh doctor he practised there until his death. He was a contributor of both prose and verse to the magazines, and particularly, with the signature of Delta, to Blackwood's Magazine. His life is featured in the book, The “Blackwood” Group by Sir George Douglas, Edinburgh: Oliphant, Anderson & Ferrier, 1897. A collection of his poetry was edited in 1852 by Thomas Aird. Among his publications were the famous Life of Mansie Wauch, Tailor (1828), which shows his gifts as a humorist, Outlines of the Ancient History of Medicine (1831), and Sketch of the Poetical Literature of the Past Half Century (1851). He is one of several writers who are claimed as the author of the "Canadian Boat-Song".[1] He is commemorated by a memorial statue, which was erected in Musselburgh in 1853. [2] There are also several street names in the town which make reference to him, and a branch of the pub chain Weatherspoons opened in February 2012 is named The David Macbeth Moir. [mehr]

Having been most cordially granted permission to republish these letters in a collected form, it is my duty to mention that my mission from the Daily News was absolutely unfettered, either by instructions or introductions. It was thought that an independent and impartial account of the present condition of the disturbed districts of Ireland would be best secured by sending thither a writer without either Irish politics or Irish friends--in short, one who might occupy the stand-point of the too-often-quoted "intelligent foreigner."

It is based on events of her own life. [mehr]
