Excerpt from The Manse Garden Whatever might be needful by way of intro duction will be found interspersed with the work; but in the mean time the Author's appellative given in the title page of this volume is such as to demand some apology. Why does he take the refuge of a common family name, instead of giving his proper designation at once? In his own defence, he begs honestly to declare he has no liking to that sort of mystery, nor is he wont to use it, never having before given any thing to the public without sending along with it whatever good or ill it might derive from his name.

Excerpt from The Manse Garden Concealment is rarely a right thing; and how far, for reasons given, the Author's hiding of his name in the first edition may be justified, it is needless now to inquire, as the attempt so quickly proved an entire failure. Whoever meditates the smallest guile would need to provide more eyes and a good memory. Some years ago, in contributing the Statistical Account of his parish, the writer took notice of a moor blackbird, which he described as a thief. The description, soon out of sight, was soon out of mind; but not so the thief, who, continuing his visits, kept alive the remembrance of his person - and was again, it seems, submitted in "The Manse Garden" to the like advertisement of his stature, visage, and the colour of his clothes.
