This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1833 edition. Excerpt: ... four o'clock in the morning, when, after emptying every bottle, or pint-stoup, we parted, much against the wishes of some of us, who would have preferred making out the 24 hours on the ice. We have sometimes indulged in playing on our artificial pond after dinner; and our Preses and others have continued it so long, that we did not muster on the ice at the appointed hour in the morning.

The Duddingston Society.--In mentioning Societies of Curlers, the Duddingston certainly merits to be placed the first on the list, as containing many members who are highly eminent for scientific knowledge, wealth, respectability, and worth. This Society was instituted in 1795; and at present consists of 167 members. Each member, when on the ice, should be provided with a silver medal, with an appropriate device, and the motto--"Sic Scoti alii non aeque felices." Presidents. Sir Thomas Kirkpatrick. I Rev. Principal Baird. Sir George Clerk. Solicitor-general. Edward Hoggan, Secretary. J. Johnstone, Treasurer. Rev. Dr. D. Ritchie, Chaplain. J. M'george, Medallist.

We trust the day is not far...
