IS GUSH MAE and SCOTCHMAN.
Q OM E gentlemen being to view the lake of Albano, til
CJ oval piece of water, of about seven or eight imk ,
cin “nilerence, a few leagues from Root ■, and an KngfWv
and a Scotchi gentleman being of the party, the Englilliman
laid to the S-otchman, ‘ There is not a profjvcTdunl \o
this in all France or Germany, and not man’ lime ior even
m England.’ * ‘Flint I will believe,’ replied the Caledo
nian, 1 hut il J had you in Scotland I could I,how you !c
----veral with which this is by no means to be compare l .’
Indeed! Pray in what part of Scotland are da v to he
lecnr’ ‘ I presume you never Was at the cufllc of Edin
burgh, fir: ‘ Never.’ 1 Nor at Stirling?’ 1 Never,’ * Did
you ever fee Loch Lomond, fir?’ ‘ Ne'er.’ ‘ J I'up.-off- J
need not all: whether you have been in Ah-crdcenfhire, or
the Highlands, or ?’ 1 muff confefs on-c for all,’
interrupted the Englilliman, ‘ that 1 have the misfortune
never to have fetn any part of Scotland.’ • Then I am not
tirpriled,’ laid the Scot, taking a large pinch of findf,
tliat you t mnk tins the line ft view you ever ftnv.’ ‘ 1
pieiimie you think thole in Scotland a great deal finer?’
Avery great deal indeed, fir; why, that lake, for ex
:unp e, is a pretty thing enough; I'dare swear many an
.ng.nl: nooienvui would give a good deal to have fucli
another before his house; but Loch Lomond is 30 miles in
cng’h, fir! there are above 20 islands in it, fir! that is a
ake for yoin .As for their dclart of a Campagna, as tlie
Jtabans call it, no man who has his eves in his head, fir,
will compare it to the fertile valley of Stirling, with the
l'ortn, the 1110 ft beautiful river in Euroiie, twining through
it.’ ‘ Do you really in your confidence imagine,’ hml
the Englilliman, ‘ tliat the Forth is a finer river tlir.n the
1 names:’ ‘ ‘Else J'hames!’ exclaimed the North Briton
wny, my dear fir, the Thames at London i, a mere pi;!
ter 111 comparifoii of the Frith of Forth at Edinburgh.’
4 a . ,TI Turpt iied,’ laid the South Briton, ‘ that in a cotin
try like your’s there are l’o very few fruit gardens.’ ‘ Whv,
in', it is not to he expected,’ laid the Scot, ‘ that any one
country will excel in every thing, but no country on earth
procures better men and women than Scotland.’ ’ ‘ 1 da-e
iay none does,’ replied the other. ‘ So as France excels
in wine, England in wool and oxen, Arabia in holfcr,. and
other countries in other animals, you imagine Scotland ex
cels all others in tlie human Jpecies?’ ‘ W!*at I laid, f*r
was, that the human i'pecics in no country excel thofc in
Scotland; and that I chert again, and will maintain, fir,
to my Est gulp.’ ‘ Ido not intend to deny- it,’ said the
Eiigliftminn; ‘ but you will permit me to obfsrve, that
incn being its staple commodity, it mull be owned that
dcotland carries on a bulk trade; for 1 know no country
that has A greater exportation; you will find Scotchmen
in all the countries of the world.’ ‘ So much the better
ior all the countries cf the wmdd,’ said the Scotchman;
‘ ,or C ' VCI T bexly knows that the Scotch cultivate and im
prove the arts and lcicnccs wherever then go.’ ‘ ‘i’licr
certainly improve their own fortunes wherever they go’,’
u joined die other, ‘ and this is one reafiin of our having
•the pleasure of their company in London,’ ‘ AMicthcr it
affords you pleasure or not, fir, nothing cgn be more cer
tain,’ r< plied the Scot in the 1110 ft lerious tone, 1 than that
you may improve very much by their company and ex
ample, and you mu ft allow, tliat, if loroe Scotchmen make
fortunes in England, many of our best estates arc also
lpeiit there: But whether Scotland be poor or rich, the
Scots who fettle in England mult carry industry, talents,
or wealth, with them, otherwise they will fhrve there as
well as elfewhere;* and when one country draws citizens
of tiiis delcription from another, I leave you to judge
which lias the moft reason to complain; and let me tell
you, fir, without a perfect union with Scotland, England
could not en joy tlie principal benefit (lie derives from her
infiular fituation.’ ‘ Not till Scotland ffiould he fubdued.’
Ibid the Englilliman. ‘ Subdued!’ repeated the aftoniflied
Scot, ‘ iir, tbat is a very llrange hypothesis; the fruit
leis attempts oi many centuries might have taught you
that the tiling is iinpolfiblc. I think the English nation as
brave as any ever exilled, and therefore I will not fay tlie
Scotch are braver; far lels will I alien, that they, conlift
ing of only a filth part of the number,, could ftilxlue the
Englilh; but I am sure tliat, rather than lubmit, they
would try; and you will allow that the trial would be no
advantage to cither country.’ ‘ Although I am fully
com ii.ctd, laid the aingitflimaii, 4 l.ow the expcninent
would end, 1 liiould be sorry to lee it made*’ ‘ Yet, fir,’
rejoined t.ie Scot, 4 there arc people of your country who
endeavor to exasperate the minds of the inhabitants of one
part of Great Britain against the natives of the other, and
to create diflenfion between two countries whefe mutual
fafety depends on their good agreement.’ ‘ I do assure
you, my good fir,’ said the Englilh gentleman, 4 I am
not of the number of thofc who wilh to raile such diflenfion.
I love the Scotch; 1 always thought them a lenfible val
iant people; and fome of the moft valued friends I liavs on
earth are of your country.’ ‘ You are a man of honor
and difeernment,’ said the Scotch gentleman, seizing him
eagerly by the hand, 1 and I protest, without prejudice or
partiality, that I never knew a man of that character who
was not of your way of thinking.’
* Ft would be u wild and unwarranted idea to ftp
pofe the TngVifh have fucb a predilection for the Scots
as to encourage, much less to pour fortunes upon them,
merely from their being Scots.
