Notes

  • Author's preamble: 'The following impromptu was addressed to his companions by the leader of a duck-shooting expedition to the Clyde, on their arrival at the Bush Inn, near Nelligen, after enjoying themselves exceedingly with their sport, and the hospitality of the settlers on the banks of that splendid river. The fictitious name attached to the leader is borrowed from the inventor, patentee and vendor of certain specifics, which everyone knows, has obtained world-wide celebrity'.
  • Author's footnote: 'The above was originally spoken in Irish; and the translator hopes this English version of it brings out the speaker's meaning with as much fidelity as such versions generally do'.
