Excerpt from Scenes of Infancy: Descriptive of Teviotdale
For my information, I am chiefly indebted to Sir Walter Scott's Biographical Memoir of the poet, first published in the Edinburgh Annual Register in 1811; to Mr Robert White's Supplement to that memoir, published in 1858 and to the Rev. James Morton's Life of Leyden, published along with an edition of his Poetical Remains in 1819.
