We are not informed as to its construction; it seems to have given satisfaction.
He also invented a straw-chopper and many other machines.
Menzies made a machine in Scotland in 1732, and Stirling of Dumblane another in 1758, but they do not seem to have been successes.
Meikle, of Tyningham, East Lothian, Scotland, invented a machine in 1786, which is the type of modern thrashers.
Menzies's had a series of revolving flails, and Stirli
hing could be more calculated to stir up the religious sentiment of the country against the cause of which the Times has made itself the principal champion.
This is another example of the manner in which the devil sometimes overreaches himself.

Ms. and Lib. 33.34.
Since I last addressed you, I have attended meetings in the following places, viz.: Sheffield, Heywood, Dumfries, Kilmarnock, Greenock, Dumbarton, Paisley, Glasgow, Stirling, Perth, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Galashiels, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Bristol, Bath, Stroud, Kingswood, and London.

man at Riccarton House, with Sir James Gibson Craig, who pressed me so hard as to vex me, and nearly put me out of temper.
Sir James himself was perfectly serene and just.
Stirling, Oct. 7, 1838.
I continue this letter beneath the towers of Stirling,—so famous in Scotch history, and which have witnessed the ebbs and flows of so many bloody tides.
The castle must have been impregnable before the art of war, and particularly the science of artillery, had introduced such great changes.
Sinceady of the Lake; have seen the spot where Fitz James wound his horn, after his gallant grey had sunk exhausted to the ground; have followed his course beyond Clan-Alpine's outmost guard, as far as Coilantogle's ford.
And now I am on the rock of Stirling,—one of those natural fastnesses which, in early days, were so much regarded by all soldiers.
Among the adventures which I have had in the Highlands, amidst these weird hills and glassy lakes, was a Highland wedding.
Let me tell you of this o
