OF THAT ILK. BY THE AUTHOR OF " ANNALS OF THE PARISH," &c. IN THREE VOLUMES. VOL. III. EDINBURGH: PRINTED FOR WILLIAM BLACKWOOD, EDINBURGH ; AND T. CADELL, STRAND, LONDON. SIR ANDREW WYLIE. CHAPTER I. A FRIEND IN NEED. CHARLES PIERSTON, who had for some time been settled in business by his uncle, on his own account, called one evening on our hero, and begged the loan of a thousand pounds. Wylie was not surprised at the application, for various circumstances had come to his knowledge, which gave him reason to suspect, that the prosperity of Charles was deeply affected by some of those litical convulsions, which at that time deranged the commercial relations of the world. po |
