" As an eaaijqAe (< of a rnanly independent spirit" under sufferings he makes an extract , in a note p . 25 , from the memorial of the working vreawers of Kifkaldy : it is deserving
indeed of the praise bestowed on it by the respectable . Editor of The Itocki ngham £ published at Hull ~] of Dec . 14 * , 1816 , and does particular honour to that class of the population from which " such sentiments " and 4 f such language" have proceeded .
