Excerpt from Wee Tibbie's Garland: And Other Poems and Readings
When the Garland first made its appearance, the Wee Tibbie from which it derives its name was then a little girl of ten, and though now she is a married woman, many will yet remember the deep impression she made by her choice rendering of a number of the Dialogues and Readings given in the book. Her pathetic pleading with her faither to give up the drink touched the hearts of all who heard her, and was the means of converting not a few to the principles of total abstinence.
Knowing that Thomas Carlyle was favourable to the temperance movement, I sent him a copy of the book, which drew from him a very cordial reply, from which the following is an extract.
