changed since 'auld lang syne;' and
though I am made to know assuredly that all is wellI scarcely dare to allow my mind to settle on the past."
[46] A daughter of Baron Hume was one of the ladies who induced Lady Nairn to become a contributor to
The Scottish Minstrel.
Many of the songs were sent to the Editor through the medium of Miss Hume. She
thus expresses herself in a letter to a friend:--"My father's admiration of 'The Land o' the Leal' was suchthat
he said no woman but Miss Ferrier was capable of writing it. And when I used to shew him song after song in
MS.when I was receiving the anonymous verses for the musicand ask his criticismhe said--'Your unknown
poetess has only _one_or rather _two_letters out of tasteviz.choosing "B. B." for her signature.'"
