Excerpt from Lectures and Stories: Including the Stories of Mrs. Macnab, the Stairhead Battle, Mrs. Gallacher, Ordination in Marriage, Non-Intervention, Looking for a House, the Affections, Dignity of Labour, Heart's Ease, Etc;, Etc

The Lectures contain not a little of the experience I have acquired in fighting the battle of life, the aim having been to give an agreeable mixture of both head and heart, which will be wholesome and useful, especially to the young.

In writing the Stories the chief aim was amusement. If they contain a few morals, it is because true pictures of everyday life must of necessity be full of moral lessons to all who can look at them aright.
