Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wilson's Historical, Traditionary, and Imaginative Tales of the Borders, and of Scotland, Vol. 1: With a Glossary of Scotch Words
His lot in life was somewhat mitigated, by sharing his hardships with a partner of kindred spirit. Some years before his decease he became connected in marriage with Miss Sarah Gladson, a lady of respectability, but not Of worldly means, who proved a most affectionate and devoted wife.
The next course to which he resorted, was the delivery of a series of Lectures on Poetry, with Biographical and Individual Sketches, which he had prepared in three manuscript volumes. These Lectures he delivered, with various success, and often inadequate remuneration, in the principal towns of Scotland and England, until some time in 1832, when his wanderings were, by a kind Providence, brought to an end. He was invited to become the editor of the Berwick Advertiser, a weekly paper, published in his native town.
