Excerpt from Noctes Ambrosianae, Vol. 1 May, 1854, had fairly set in ere I could commence writing the notes, and the five volumes being distributed among as many printers, as the pressure for time was unusually great, I had to supply fresh copy daily to each, and to correct five separate sets of proofs and revises, and to annotate every passage where it seemed necessary. At the same time, I was also literary editor and political writer on a daily, and dramatic and musical critic on a weekly paper in New York. Nor was my labor limited to mere annotations - for I had to preface the volumes with an elaborate history of Blackwood's Magazine, and biographies of Wil son, Lockhart, Hogg, and Maginn. Lastly (and this alone took a fortnight), I had to make a double index, containing over three thousand references. The time occupied on the work was three months, during which I averaged fourteen hours work per day - taking a recess only on each Sunday.

Excerpt from Noctes Ambrosianae, Vol. 4 When James Hogg was seven years old, he was compelled to go to service. His occupation was to herd a few cows for a neighboring farmer. His wages for the half year 'were a ewe lamb and a pair of new Shoes. In the first winter he returned home, and had three months' schooling. He got into a. Class so far advanced that they could read the Bible. He tried writing, but each letter was nearly an inch in length. Nor, to his dying day, did he write well. His whole course of education was obtained in six months at this time. After this, he says, I was never another day at any school whatever. When the severity of the season abated, when gentle Spring felt the kiss of Summer on her roseate lips, James Hogg again became a cow-herd. So he continued for some years, under various masters, until he finally arrived at the dignity of Shepherd's assistant. The care of large flocks of sheep requires probity, skill, and self-reliance. The character which Hogg Obtained from his successive masters, (he had a dozen before he was fifteen, ) placed him in this rank, where the wages and other pecuniary advantages are comparatively good, and the opportunities for those who wish to acquire knowledge are great. A man, who is in the open air by himself, for twelve hours a-day during many months, able to read, (as nearly every Scottish peasant is, ) can scarcely help becoming contemplative, and more or less imaginative. But, during the whole of Hogg's novitiate as a herdsman, he had no book to read except the Bible, and the version of the Psalms Of David which is used by the Scottish Church. He had purchased an old violin out of his small earnings, and determinedly taught himself to play some favorite Scotch tunes. Afterwards, as we Shall see, he became a very passable player.
