Excerpt from Sketches and Tales of the Shetland Islands The general aspect, scenery, and customs of these islands, are so different, from aught that British travellers are accustomed to meet with, we trust some brief sketches tending to delineate and illus trate them, will not be unwelcome in these palmy days for tourists; the more especially, as a com plete modern account of Shetland is still a deside ratum. All that is aimed at in the following pages, is to present a few truthful pictures of a wild and primitive district, and of a state of society rapidly disappearing under the influence of modern ad vancement. Shetland, as it still is, is not very dif ferent, in many important particulars, from what it was in the days of Magnus Troil of hospitable memory. But steam navigation, enterprize, and capital, are producing rapid changes here as else where, so that passing away is written legibly on the dwellings - the fields and gardens - all, in deed, but the old rocks themselves. We hail improvements - but we cling notwith standing to early memories and ancient usages; and would gladly see them delineated on something less perishable than oral tradition, and especially in an abler style than we may hope to attain in the attempt.

Excerpt from Rock-Bound: A Story of the Shetland Isles This home Of mine in the melancholy isles Of furthest Thule is a very Old mansion, built (or rather added to) by several generations Of eccentric owners, until it became the queer mass of stone and mortar which you see. N ever theless, there is a certain picturesque look about the Ha' hoose which imparts character to the dead walls, and seems in keeping with the rocks and grey moor that sur. Round it. One of my forbears must have had a keen love of the beautiful, combined with an energy unusual to the islanders, for we are indebted to refined taste and deter mined warfare against the elements for the small plantation Of trees which covers the slope Of rugged hill lying between our house and the sea. The Shetland peasantry, quite unaccustomed to the aspect of wood, except in its form of Noroway deal, had many superstitious ideas regarding our garden and shrubbery; and it may have been from hearing the talk of these folks that I imbibed the notion Of ghostly shapes who glided among the somewhat weather wom trunks of our plantation. But that circumstance did not prevent the trees from being to me a source of great delight; and the fact that our house was haunted was an ancient, undisputed tradition, in which my soul rejoiced. The natural allusion to supernatural things, with a constant reference to Spiritual agencies, had SO familiarised my mind with an unseen world, and its invisible occupants, that I had no fears on the subject, and would have accosted a trow or a ghost with the freedom Of old acquaintance.
