Summary

The Book of Scottish Song — Sweet Annie (1843)

John Hoadley, son of Bishop Hoadley, and, considering that it is the production of an Englishman, its use of the Scottish language is pretty accurately sustained, though here and there, we think, the Doric ear will detect something false in its construction—Something which betrays its bastard origin—and proves it to be "not the true Mackie" or "real Simon Pure."
