Biography:

MCFARLANE, John (fl 1820)

His book is dedicated to John Jamieson (q.v.) who, the preface states, had helped him in the past. Although there is no list included in the book, it was published by subscription to help the author provide for his family. One of the poems, “An Epistle to Mr L---”, states that the author is a cobbler. Some of the poems are in dialect; several are exchanges with friends (James Dobie and S. Hope), and one is addressed to “Berwickshire Sandy” (Alexander Brown, q.v.).
