"Two Years in Oregon"
Wallis Nash
He scrimps the auld wife baith in garnal and caddy; He snuffs what wad keep her in comfort and ease; Rapee, Lundyfitt, Prince's Mixture, and Taddy, She looks upon them as the warst o' her faes.
"England in the Days of Old"
William Andrews

"Anna St. Ives"
Thomas Holcroft
