    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This song is a political action piece written to urge the population and politicians of Aberdeen to build a bridge to the district of Torry within the city following a ferry disaster which killed 32 people. Ferries and boats had previously been the only way to access the district after the diversion of the river Dee had cut it off, and, according to the song, dithering between different political parties over the cost of the project had prevented a bridge from being built previously. The ballad names several different districts, politicians, and groups with an interest in building the bridge in an effort to raise the funds for a new bridge to prevent future disasters. This chapbook is part of a collection of chapbooks produced in Aberdeen which have been bound together in this volume.]]></dcterms:abstract>

In the verses of the chapbook, the author describes a vision he has of Aberdeen, one hundred years in the future. He scarcely recognizes his city, clean of all crime, filth, and poverty and filled with happy, productive people, all due to the absence of alcohol which had been abolished for a century. The author paints a picture of an almost utopian society, describing with pleasure all the good that would come from a society of temperance, in religion, economics, and politics. In the end, he is disappointed to wake up and discover it was nothing but a dream.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[A collection of four ballads, mostly humorous. The first is a satirical ballad about a local figure named Auld Ronald who appears to be well-known around Aberdeen. He is humorously portrayed as scantily clad, poor, and possibly a bit crazy, although he appears to be able to talk on many topics at length, including philosophy and cooking. The ballad also describes several of the supposed inventions that he has created throughout his lifetime, such as a specially designed stove, type-writer, shoes, and even a gag for old scolding women. The second song is a humorous account claiming that “’Tis an Ill Wind That Blaw’s Naebody Gweed [Good]” by describing bad things that happened to people that others benefitted from. The third song is an ode to the author’s ‘mither [mother] tongue’. He describes its role in his own life, growing up speaking it with friends and family, as well as its connections to kin abroad, and its beauty in songs sung past and present. It is not immediately clear if the author is referring to Gaelic (which is not mentioned by name) or to Scots, which the song is written in. The final song is addressed to the Scottish Volunteers, and spends most of its time describing the beauty, history, and heroism of Scotland and those who fight to defend it.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The chapbook is a print edition of a letter originally submitted for publication to the editor of the Aberdeen Free Press in response to a piece written by Mr. Burnett in that newspaper on July 29th. An inscription on the opening page indicates that the letter was not published in the paper as the editor wished to bring the current discussion to a close, so the author decided to publicize his letter himself by printing in the current form. The letter addresses Mr. Burnett’s expressed opinion that Unitarianism leads to Aetheism and damnation, defending instead a rational approach to religion and theology. The letter quite thoroughly addresses Burnett’s criticisms at length and turns his own arguments against him as themselves “superstitious.” This chapbook is part of a collection of chapbooks produced in Aberdeen which have been bound together in this volume.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[A collection of songs and ballads. In the first ballad, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Gordon goes to visit Aberdeen with her sisters and ends up marrying a handsome but poor captain without her father’s consent. When the Duke finds out, he chases down his daughter and tries to get the captain executed. The king refuses the request, but does have the captain demoted from his rank to a single soldier. Poverty and childbirth do not appear to suit the young lady and the family goes to visit her parents. Jean is welcomed by her family back home but her husband is shunned and sent away. The poor captain is sent across the sea until he suddenly receives word that he is made the Count of Northumberland as his brother and family have died. He returns to Gordon’s castle for his wife and family, who now join him happily, but scorns the welcome of his wife’s family who are suddenly much more friendly now that he is landed in his own right. This ballad is followed by two short songs, the first describing the pleasant courtship of a boy from Aberdeen, and the second recounting the attack of Argyle against the House of Airly while the Lord of Ogilvie is away fighting for Charles Stewart. This chapbook is part of a collection of chapbooks produced in Aberdeen which have been bound together in this volume.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This chapbook includes a tragic ballad of the Earl of Leslie, who falls in love and marries a young woman of lowly birth. When the King goes to war against the English who are raiding across the border, Leslie attends him and wins honour on the battlefield. But when the king brings back his lords to feast in Edinburgh, the Lady Annabelle Stewart, bastard sister to the king, falls in love with the handsome young lord and begs the king to marry them. Although Leslie insists he cannot marry because he already has a well-loved wife, the king gives him the choice of setting aside his low-born wife in favor of his sister, or hang. Leslie acquiesces and sends word to his wife, who dies of grief. When he hears of her fate, he rages against his wife and disappears. Years later, after his lands and wealth were gone and he had been forgotten, he returns as a hermit to Powis and endures a life of self-imposed penance and asceticism until his death reveals his true story. This chapbook is part of a collection of chapbooks produced in Aberdeen which have been bound together in this volume.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[A young Lowland McFarlane woman falls in love with her cousin, the son of a dispossessed Jacobite Highland lord of clan who has been raised and maintained by her father as his ward. Despite his poverty, Grigor is well-educated, good-looking, and in the king’s service when his cousin, Katie, declares her love for him. Grigor at first does not take her proposal seriously, but when she assures him of her sincerity, he eagerly agrees to marry her, although she urges him to keep quiet until she has figured out how to arrange things without the knowledge of her disapproving parents. Before they can meet the next day, however, Katie’s mother discovers their romance and warns the father, who follows them to their arranged tryst and confronts them both. Grigor apologizes for his behavior, but Katie bravely stands up to her father, declaring that she is not a “hog or a horse to be sold, Away to some num-skull that has nought but gold,” and that Grigor is the only one for her. The father seeks to break them up and Grigor is pressed into military service. The two lovers arrange to meet in secret and pledge their troth with rings, but then Grigor is shipped off to serve in America. He is known for his bravery and good behavior and is promoted before being slaughtered by Indians at Fort Niagara in July 30, 1859. His corpse is scalped and mutilated, including cutting off his hand that bore his betrothal ring. At this instant, his spectre appears to Katie in Scotland, who is frightened by the bloody apparition. He appears to her a second time the next day and this time explains his death to her. When she cries and tells all of this to her father, he thinks she is crazy and sends for doctors, but no medicine can cure her broken heart and she dies soon after, to the regret of both her parents. The song ends with a warning to all parents against keeping young lovers apart lest they lose their children altogether. This chapbook is part of a collection of chapbooks produced in Aberdeen which have been bound together in this volume.]]></dcterms:abstract>
