Printed on one side of a 21 x 9 cm slip of watermarked laid paper. Aged and creased. Headed: 'Dedicated | to | Samuel Mucklebackit, Esq., | (Otherwise James Lumsden, of 34 Royal Park Terrace, Edinburgh), | by | Sir Robert Thorburn, K.C.M.G., | Ex-Premier of Newfoundland, | From | "Somewhere far abroad, where sailors gang to fish for cod."' Place and date at bottom left. Forty-line poem, beginning: 'I hae yer buik, ma canty frien', | An's read it wi' great pleasure, | So may yer muse be ever bricht, | Nor scrimpit in her measure!' Concludes: 'Wi' food eneuch, an' claes to boot, | Then let us be contented; | O' life we are but tenants here, | So be our time weel tented ! - (Amen!)' Uncommon, only three copies on OCLC WorldCat, one at the National Library of Scotland, one at Yale, and one in Canada. At the time of writing Lumsden was sending unsolicited copies of his publications to prominent Scots, after his family had been ruined and forced to leave their farm at Nether Hailes, East Lothian, as a result of the agricultural depression. No library has speculated that Lumsden might have been the author!.

Slip-song, 240 x 130 mm. small repair to verso. This item may have at some time been mounted and will bear traces on the reverse of adhesive or removal of mounts. The dedicatee, Samuel Mucklebackit, the pseudonym of James Lumsden [1839 - 1909], was the 'author' of several books of poetry and short tales written in a Scots' idiom in the second half of the nineteenth century. Interspersed are many essays on East Lothian localities and observations of the character and situation of the county as seen by the author. One of the puzzles of Mucklebackit/Lumsden is unravelling reality from fancy. In real life Lumsden seems to have been a larger than life character and on the page Mucklebackit even more so. But reading between the lines, there seems to be a core of reality around which the tales of Mucklebackit relate incidents in and aspects of Lumsden's own experience. See The John Gray Centre, East Lothian Council for further information. Sir Robert Thorburn [1836 - 1906] was premier of Newfoundland 1885 - 89; this seems to be his only publication and the sole copy traced is at the National Library of Scotland.
