DICK AND EDWARD.

Previous
James McIntyre
The Thurso baker Robert Dick[E]
 Armed with his hammer and his pick,
 Dame nature's secrets did reveal,
 Which she for ages did conceal.
In Banff has genius found regard
 In the person of an Edward,[F]
 Who now does rank among the first
 In the world as naturalist.

[E] Dick was both a geologist and botanist and was of great service to Hugh Millar.

[F] Edward is a shoemaker by trade, remarkable for his knowledge of the lower grades of animated nature.
