This year well deserved the name of the monumental year in our parish; for the young laird of the Breadland, that had been my pupil, being learning to be an advocate among the faculty in Edinburgh, with his lady mother, who had removed thither with the young ladies her daughters, for the benefit of education, sent out to be put up in the kirk, under the loft over the family vault, an elegant marble headstone.

About the Author
John Galt (1779 – 1839) was born at Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland. Galt is considered an early master of the realistic novel. His Tales of the West novels, set in Galt’s native Ayrshire, influenced the writing of many of his contemporaries. Widely popular in his lifetime his works have now fallen into obscurity. Only recently, with the rebirth of Scottish nationalism, has Galt’s work received serious attention.
