Légende

Edinburgh: Advocates' Close, 1864. 'From each side of the [high] street there branch out dark and narrow closes or tortuous wynds. Strange and weirdlike do they look, and fit to have been the scenes of a thousand mysterious traditions and romantic stories. A glance, however, down one of the gloomy closes...and one glimpse of the squalor, wretchedness, and vice that lurk there, is enough to make one satisfied with a little less of the romance of the Mrs. Radcliffe School, and a reasonable amount of commonplace comfort and security'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
