"In too many instances the Highlands have been drained, not of their superfluity of population, but of the whole mass of the inhabitants, dispossessed by a unrelenting avarice, which will be one day found to have been as shortsighted as it is unjust and selfish.
Meantime, the Highlands may become the fairy ground for romance and poetry, or the subject of experiment for the professors of speculation, political and economical.
But if the hour of need should come -- and it may not, perhaps, be far distant -- the pibroch may sound through the deserted region, but the summons will remain unanswered."
