The Wallace Tower
The Auctioneer’s Address to his Audience.
“The Wallace Tower at Stirling cannot be completed for want of funds, so the project is to be discontinued, and the materials are to be sold by auction.”—Scotch Papers.
Scots, wha won’t for Wallace bleed,
Scots, who’d see such humbug d’d,

Yon’s the rock, and yon’s the tower,
Ere it’s in the Sheriff’s power,
