Summary
Busts of Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson in the Writers Museum, Lady Stairs House, Edinburgh.
- "Is it not strange that, at a time when we have lost our Princes, our Parliaments, our independent Government, even the Presence of our chief Nobility, are unhappy, in our Accent & Pronunciation, speak a very corrupt Dialect of the Tongue, which we make use of; is it not strange, I say, that in these Circumstances, we shou'd really be the People most distinguish'd for Literature in Europe?" -- David Hume, letter to Gilbert Elliot, 1757
