Dick And Edward

Title:     Dick And Edward
Author: James McIntyre [More Titles by 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.

FOOTNOTES
[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.
