Dick and Edward
The Thurso baker Robert DickE
Armed with his hammer and his pick,
Dame nature’s secrets did reveal,
Which she for ages did conceal.
In Banff has genius found regard
In the person of an Edward,F
Who now does rank among the first
In the world as naturalist.
Notes
E Dick was both a geologist and botanist and was of great service to Hugh Millar.
F Edward is a shoemaker by trade, remarkable for his knowledge of the lower grades of animated nature.
