Wretchedness of the Cottages. — Their Exterior. — Their Middens and Kail-yards. — The Interior of a Highland Hut, with Figiires The Lassies and their Mither. — Bonnie. — Cottages a Century ago. — Dr. Johnson, Garnett, and Pennant's Testimony. — An unwashed Bridegroom. — A Mahometan Paradise. — Dr. Parkins's Theory of wholesome unwholesomeness. — Bother' d. — The Geography of Dirt. — Calvinism and Cleanliness. — Christopher North's poetic gilding. — Lord Palmerston's sound Advice. — Landlords to... the Kescue ! If the average farm-lioiise in the neighbourhood of Grlencreggan was as I have endeavoured faithfully to depict it, — and for this purpose I have by no means chosen the worst specimen — what were the cottages ? Not to mince matters, they were miserable cabins, so wretched and filthy, that if an English gentleman lodged his labourers in such places, he would be gibbeted in his county newspaper, and held up to deserved re- proach.
