FOUR wings I have, which swiftly mount on high, On sturdy pinions, yet I never fly; And though my body often moves around, Upon the self-same spot I'm always found; And, like a nurse who chews the infant's meat, I chew for man before that he can eat. A wind mill. Dunbar : Printed for and sold by G. Miller at whose shop may be had, a variety of small histories, sermons &c. Catechisms, ballads, children's books and pictures.

| Description | Over 3,000 chapbooks published in Scotland in the 18th and 19th centuries. Subjects include courtship, humour, occupations, fairs, apparitions, war, politics, crime, executions, Jacobites, transvestites, and freemasonry. Chapbooks are small booklets of 8, 12, 16 and 24 pages, often illustrated with crude woodcuts. Produced cheaply and sold by peddlars on the streets, they formed the staple reading material of the common people, along with broadsides. |
