Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Humour of the Scot 'Neath Northern Lights and Southern Cross IN collecting the materials for a former book, Oor Ain Folk, I noted down from time to time many Scotch stories, which, although scarcely perhaps applicable to the more restricted scope and personal character of that 'volume, were yet, in my opinion, worthy of publication in some permanent record, as bearing on the always interesting story of the evolution and growth of any marked type of national character.
