Sample Title Page


Interesting Record: Aberbrothock Club;
"A most wretched production in every respect. It is ill printed and ill spelt. In the first number, after a brief introduction, giving a description of personal appearance, and an estimate of the mental qualities of the various members of 'the Club'”

 

“The style was, as indicated by the title, colloquial. The conversations were carried on chiefly in the Scottish dialect, but the writer or writers were quite incapable of writing correctly a single sentence of Scotch. As to the matter, it was the most miserable drivel that ever appeared in print. As might be expected, only a few numbers saw the light" (McBain).
