["The present Government is eminently a Scottish Government.
You must remember that there are in the present Cabinet no
less than five Scotch members of the House of Commons ... and
we have also a member of the House of Lords who is one of the
most eminent Scotchmen--I mean Lord ROSEBERY."--_Mr. Asquith
in Glasgow._]
"_A Sassenach chief may be bonily built,
He may purchase a sporran, a bonnet, a kilt;
Stick a skeaen in his hose--wear an acre of stripes--
But he cannot assume an affection for pipes._"
