By John Aiton, D.D., Minister of Dolphinton. Fullarton & Co. 1852. Like most other ubiquitous customs, corn-gleaning has been frequently described by the painter and the poet, yet I much question whether in any case the picture is true to nature. A certain amount of idealism is infused into all the sketches indeed, in the experience of numbers of readers, this is the sole feature in most of them.
Even the beautiful and glowing description of English corn-gleaning given by Thomson, is felt by practical observers to be greatly too much of the Oriental hue, too redolent of the fragrance of a fanciful Arcadia.
