Excerpt from The Modern Athens: A Dissection and Demonstration of Men and Things in the Scotch Capital

The Author of these pages must not be blamed, or deemed disloyal, for having given his own name the precedence of that of his sovereign. Every man in reality prefers himself before all the sove reigns in the world; and Wherefore should not one man state his preference in words? The courtier declares that all his services are devoted to his king, - but he devotes them no longer than that king can afford to pay for them the soldier swears that he will die in defence of the crown, - but' he never dies till he is compelled by the superior strength or skill of another. Even upon general grounds, therefore, there is candour if not courtesy in this order of precedence.

Excerpt from The Modern Athens: A Dissection and Demonstration of Men and Things in the Scotch Capital

The renown of the Scottish Metropolis, - that city of wonders and of wisdom, of palaces and of philosophy, of learned men and of lovely women, had sounded so long and so loudly in their ears, that toward the close of summer 1822, the Author of these pages, and the Sovereign of these realms, were induced to pay it a visit, each in that state and with that pomp and circumstances which was becoming his station in the world.
