Isle of Man sketches: a Manx cottage, 1881. 'The Manx peasantry and fisher-folk, amongst whom...the Artist has again been seeking picturesque subjects for his pencil, are a simple, primitive, virtuous, and religious people, quite as well instructed in church, chapel, and school, as the rustic inhabitants of any part of England, Scotland, or Wales; but they are fondly attached to their own peculiar fashions, still cherishing the traditional manners and customs of "Elian Vannin," with a great deal of national spirit. They have a proverb among them, "Mannagh vow cliaghtey cliaghtey, nee cliaghtey coe," which must be admitted to be quite conclusive upon this subject; and, to those of our readers who can appreciate the force and truth of this profound remark, no farther comment will be needful upon the domestic outdoor scene which is delineated in the present Illustration'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
