St Abb's Head

Speaking of one of the books, The Fourfold State, Dr. Andrew Thompson, in his introduction to Boston's Life and Times, says that within a quarter of a century of its publication, it had found its way and was eagerly read and pondered over the Scottish lowlands.

From St. Abb's Head to the remotest point in Galloway, it was to be seen side by side with the Bible and Bunyan on the shelf in every peasant's cottage.

The shepherd bore it with him, folded in his plaid.

Up among the silent hills, the plowman in the valley refreshed his spirits with it.
